Hosmer–Lemeshow statistics were as follows: κ2=11.8; P=0.16; C statistic: 0.77. OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; MV, mechanical ventilation.

a

Respiratory status was inserted as the dummy variable.

b

Underlying comorbidities (chronic liver disease, chronic cardiac dysfunction, or immunodeficiency) were defined according to the Knaus definition (40).
