Table 4. Multivariate analysis for in-hospital mortality predictors.

Characteristics	Odds Ratio	CIs
SVA	2.59	(.83-8.05)
Malignancy	11.98	(2.15-66.77)
Mechanical ventilation	23.86	(4.18-136.38)
Number of organs failed	3.14	(1.90-5.18)

SVA, supraventricular arrhythmia

Logistic regression analysis showed that malignancy (OR 11.98, 2.15-66.77), mechanical ventilation (OR 23.86, 4.18-136.38) and numbers of organs failed (OR 3.14, 1.90-5.18) were all independent predictors of mortality but new onset SVA (OR 2.59, 0.83-8.05) was not significantly associated with mortality independent of comorbidity and severity indicators.
