Quadratic term was included in the model for these variables.

Units for intercepts: activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT): seconds; international normalized ratio (INR); platelet count: ×109/L; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage: mL/day; total daily dose (TDD) of drugs transformed by log, temperature: oC; sodium: mmol/L; arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2): mmHg.

Slopes are expressed as positive for increase, negative for decrease.
