Multiple logistic regression analysis of variables to 96-hour mortality.

	Odds ratio*	CI 95%	p-value
AGP	6.19	1.48–25.74	0.012
AGP+age	9.34	1.89–46.10	0.006
AGP+age+gender	10.53	2.02–54.81	0.005
AGP+age+gender+status of shock	8.60	1.58–46.60	0.013
AGP+age+gender+status of shock+APACHE II	14.37	1.58–130.21	0.018

AGP, Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein is expressed as a dichotomized variable (> or ≤120 mg/dL); APACHE II, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; *odds ratio of AGP serum levels ≤120 mg/dL; all variables were independently associated with mortality.
