Anttila-Index above 4 is independently associated with higher risk for death during stay at the hospital in cox proportional hazard analysis. (HR 2.20, 95% CI 1.21–4.00, p = 0.010). Moreover CDT (per percent increase, HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01–1.40, p = 0.034) and Anttila-Index (per unit increase, HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.05–1.74, p = 0.018) as continuous variables were independently associated with higher risk for death. Furthermore SOFA-score and age remained significantly associated with death in all our adjusted models. Statistically significant p-values are given in bold.
CDT, carbohydrate deficient transferrin; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment; HR, hazard ratio.
