Figure 5.
Observed and predicted 6-month mortality by deciles of arterial oxygen tension (PaO2). PaO2 was divided by deciles. Predicted risk of death matched observed mortality very well within deciles with RL2 values between 0.088 and 0.987. The predicted probability of death was calculated using the following variables: acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) index independent on oxygenation (AP2no-ox), admission year (before or after 2007), emergency operation, intracranial pressure monitoring, controlled hypothermia and platelet count.
