Logistic regression model: risk factors for ICU mortality (n = 396)

Covariates associated with ICU mortality Coefficient Odds ratio 95% Confidence interval P-value
Proteinuria 0.659 1.932 1.000 to 3.734 0.050
Maximum RIFLE 0.828 2.289 1.577 to 3.322 < 0.001
Comorbidities 2.446 11.545 3.986 to 33.440 < 0.001
Age 0.065 1.068 1.029 to 1.108 < 0.001
TBSA 0.462 1.587 1.421 to 1.772 < 0.001

RIFLE, Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End Stage classification;

SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment; TBSA, total burn surface area. Covariates selection: Age, TBSA, ACS, inhalation injury, vasopressor in the first 48 h, comorbidities, sepsis during ICU stay, proteinuria, maximum RIFLE

Variables coding: Proteinuria 1: (-), 2: (±) or (+), 3: ≥ (++); Maximum RIFLE: 1: No-AKI, 2: Risk, 3: Injury, 4: Failure + loss + end stage

There was no interaction between proteinuria and RIFLE.
