APACHE, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; CI, confidence interval; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. aSeventy-eight patients were excluded from the model: 61 patients with missing data on at least one of the variables included in the model, and 17 patients who have the APACHE II admission category of metabolic, of whom only one was in the statin group. bOdds ratios per one-unit increase.
