Resource used Raw mortality, N (%) Adjusted HR (95% CI) P
Cardiorespiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation or vasopressors
  Both 44 (47.8) 122.30 (66.56–224.80) <0.001
  Pressors only 12 (4.8) 17.47 (8.38–36.41) <0.001
  Ventilation only 22 (20.4) 74.12 (37.80–145.40) <0.001

Raw mortality indicates the raw number and the percent of patients receiving each intervention who died. Hazard ratio adjusted for patient age, sex, race, Down syndrome, anthracycline exposure, dexamethasone exposure, and insurance type.
