Only predictors with P<0.01 are shown. Additional predictors included in the model with P≥0.01 were noninvasive ventilator use, oxygen saturation, creatinine, CRRT, dialysis, cardiac arrest, admission MAP, PCI, respiratory failure. APACHE indicates Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; ACS, acute coronary syndrome; BMI, body mass index; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CICU, cardiac intensive care unit; CRRT, continuous renal replacement therapy; HF, heart failure; HR, hazard ratio; IABP, intra‐aortic balloon pump; MAP, mean arterial pressure; PCI, percutaneous intervention; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment.
