Variables independently associated with mortality (multivariate analysis)

	OR	95% CI	P
MOF	6.71	(3.28-13.71)	0.001
SAPS > 9	2.89	(1.10-7.86)	0.05
ARDS	3.03	(1.48-6.21)	0.01

ARDS = adult respiratory distress syndrome; CI = confidence interval; MOF = multiple organ failure; OR = odds ratio; SAPS = simplified acute physiology score.
