Risk (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval) of poor clinical outcomes (recovery with morbidity or death) from the total number of complication types^*, analysed by multinomial logistic regression.

Poor clinical outcomes	OR	95% CI		P value
Recovery with morbidity	2.49	1.15,	5.37	0.020
Death	3.27	1.24,	8.63	0.017
