aData are means and SD for normally distributed variables (systolic/diastolic blood pressure, glucose) and median (interquartile range) for temperature. Glucose values can be converted from mg/dL to mmol/L by dividing by 18.
*Denotes significant differences in parameters on interest between subjects that died up to three months and survivors, after Bonferroni correction for multiple measurements (level of statistical significance = 0.0063).
