Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis models. NS, nonsignificant; —, not applicable.
Mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and vasoactive support were strongly collinear and could not be tested in the same model. All 3 variables were significant when entered individually into the full model, but the model with vasoactive support provided the highest explanatory value.
