Percentile and clinically-relevant based cutoffs used to construct total physiologic dysfunction composite score.

Components of Physiologic Dysfunction Score Clinically-relevant Algorithm(38) (N above, below cutoff) Percentile-based Algorithm
Systolic blood pressure (SBP)(11) > 140 mmHg (362; 4149) > 130 mmHg
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP)(11) > 90 mmHg (290; 4221) > 78 mmHg
Waist to hip ratio (WHR)(55) > 0.9 (men) > 0.8 (women) (1456; 632) (1257; 1166) > 0.98
Glycohemoglobin (GH)(56) > 6.4% (206; 4305) > 5.6%
Albumin (ALB)(57) < 3.8 g/dL (513; 3998) < 3.9 g/dL
Creatinine clearance (CC)(58) < 60 mL/min (146; 4365) < 67 mL/min
Total cholesterol (TC)(11) > 240 mg/dL (664; 3847) > 220 mg/dL
Triglycerides (TG)(11) > 200 mg/dL (682; 3829) > 154 mg/dL
White Blood Cell Count (WBC)1 > 8.4 × 109 cells /L (1102; 3409) > 8.4 × 109 cells /L
Resting heart rate (HR)(59) > 90 bpm (452; 4059) > 84 bpm

Clinically-relevant cutoff could not be identified

SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; WHR = waist to hip ratio; GH = glycohemoglobin; ALB = albumin; CC = creatinine clearance; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglycerides; WBC = white blood cell count; HR = resting heart rate
