Unadjusted analysis Adjusted analysis
Outcome Difference in median/mean (95% CI) P value Difference in median/mean (95% CI) P value
Hospital length of stay 1.0 (0.2, 1.9) 0.021 0.5 (-0.2, 1.3) 0.173
ICU length of stay 3.0 (0.3, 5.7) 0.031 1.7 (-1.9, 5.3) 0.363
DAFa first 14 days
 Invasive mechanical ventilation -0.6 (-1.0, -0.2) 0.003 -0.5 (-1.0, -0.1) 0.020
 RRTa or dialysis -0.7 (-1.1, -0.3) <0.001 -b
 Vasopressors -0.6 (-1.0, -0.2) 0.003 -0.4 (-0.8, 0.0) 0.056

aDAF = days alive and free, ICU = intensive care unit, RRT = renal replacement therapy

bAdjusted regression analysis was not feasible numerically as few patients received renal replacement therapy during the first 14 days
