ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; ICU = intensive care unit; IGS = simplified gravity index (calculated according to the worst values obtained during the first 24 hours of admission in the ICU); IQR = interquartile range; KDIGO = kidney disease improving global outcomes (scale 0–3); RRT = renal replacement therapy.
Significant differences are bolded.
Definition of organ impairment: Kidney: KDIGO score ≥2 or the need for renal replacement therapy; Hepatic: total bilirubin ≥100 µmol/L; Respiratory: need for oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation; Hemodynamic: intravenous fluid therapy, use of vasoactive drug; Hematology: need for labile blood product transfusion; Cardiac: myocarditis, acute heart failure; Neurology: Glasgow score <15 or meningitis.
