Mean bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) results for all patients, and for 90-day survivors and non-survivors separately

Bioimpedance analysis results All patients (n = 196) Survivors (n = 166) Non-survivors (n = 30) p-value
Resistance (Ω) 459 ± 92 455 ± 89 476 ± 108 0.26
Reactance (Ω) 39.0 ± 11.3 39.8 ± 10.9 34.5 ± 12.7 0.02
Phase angle (°)a 4.9 ± 1.3 5.0 ± 1.3 4.1 ± 1.2  < 0.001

p-values depict the statistical difference between 90-day survivors and non-survivors: independent T-test, equal variances not assumed. a Phase angle = arc tangent of (Xc/R)*180°/π
