Table 2. Vasopressor Use, Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and Mortality.
Data are presented as median (25th percentile–75th percentile) for continuous variables and number (percentage) of patients for categorical variables. N represents the number of non-missing values. Index CV SOFA score indicates the score during the achieved MAP.
