Univariate binary logistic regression for mortality at the unit for patients with sepsis

Parameter	OR (95%CI)	p value
NLR > 5.0	1.42 (0.85 - 2.38)	0.18
Band neutrophils > 10%	2.13 (1.01 - 4.50)	0.046*
Total leukocytes > 12,000	1.2 (0.77 - 1.82)	0.45
Total leukocytes < 4,000	2.5 (1.13 - 5.63)	0.023*
SAPS 3	1.077 (1.05 - 1.09)	0.000*
SOFA	1.33 (1.23 - 1.44)	0.000*

OR - odds ratio; 95% CI - 95% confidence interval; NLR - neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; SAPS 3 - Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3; SOFA - Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score. The laboratory parameters (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, band neutrophils > 10%, total leukocytes > 12,000, total leukocytes < 4,000) were measured up to 24 hours prior to admission to the intensive care unit, and severity scores were measured at admission.

^*Statistically significant p-value (p < 0.05).
