Predictors of 6-month mortality in ICU survivors. For each variable, combined weight-adjusted odds ratios (filled triangle) and their 95% confidence intervals (horizontal line) obtained from forest plots of pooled analyses are reported, together with the p value, the number of cirrhotic patients with variable present, and the total number of patients with available data. Odds ratios >1 correspond to variables associated with higher mortality. Odds ratios <1 correspond to variables associated with better survival. Odds ratios with a 95% CI containing 1 correspond to nonsignificant results. (*) indicates heterogeneous results.
