Odds of death (men vs. women) at one year stratified by severe sepsis occurrence, age, smoking status, and chronic health conditions*

Variable Odds ratio 95% CI P value
All subjects (n=2183) 1.39 1.12 – 1.73 0.003
Severe sepsis
 Wit h severe sepsis (n=588) 1.16 0.82 – 1.62 0.41
 Without severe sepsis (n=1658) 1.42 1.13 – 1.79 0.003
Age
 ≤50 years (n=525) 1.05 0.5 – 2.4 0.91
 >50 years (n=1658) 1.42 1.13 – 1.79 0.003
Smoking
 Never smoked (n=768) 1.2 0.83-1.73 0.35
 Ever smoked (n=1415) 1.5 1.13-2 0.004
Chronic health conditions
 Charlson score = 0 or no chronic
 health condition (n=702)
1.64 0.96 – 2.8 0.07
 Charlson score > 0 or at least one
 chronic health condition (n=1481)
1.29 1.01 – 1.64 0.04

p value for interaction between sex and each of these variables for one-year mortality was not significant
