Univariate and multivariate predictors of survival-to-hospital discharge in 306 ICU admissions of HIV-infected patients

Characteristic	Unadjusted OR (95% CI)	P-Value*	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	P-Value†
No intubation versus mechanical ventilation	6.34 (3.02-13.1)	<0.001	6.11 (2.73-13.7)	<0.001
Albumin, per 1 g/dl increase	2.09 (1.47-2.98)	<0.001	2.08 (1.41-3.06)	0.002
HIV risk factor
IDU versus MSM	2.16 (1.13-4.11)	0.020	NA	NA
Other/unknown versus MSM	2.00 (0.97-4.13)	0.061	NA	NA
No PCP diagnosis versus diagnosis of PCP in ICU	1.99 (1.02-3.90)	0.044	NA	NA
APACHE II score, per 1 point increase	0.88 (0.85-0.92)	<0.001	NA	NA
Admission diagnosis
Sepsis versus respiratory failure	1.15 (0.60-2.22)	0.68	NA	NA
Neurologic versus respiratory failure	1.77 (0.84-3.74)	0.13	NA	NA
Other diagnoses‡ versus respiratory failure	3.05 (1.42-6.56)	0.004	NA	NA

Definition of abbreviations: APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; CI = confidence interval; g/dl = grams per deciliter; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; ICU = intensive care unit; IDU = injection drug use; MSM = men who have sex with men; NA = not applicable (data for statistically insignificant predictors were not included); PCP = Pneumocystis pneumonia.

^*Legend: Wald p-values correspond to univariate analyses.

^†Wald p-values correspond to multivariate model, which excludes APACHE II scores due to collinearity.

^‡Other diagnoses include gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiac conditions, metabolic disorders, trauma, and post-operative care.
