Figure 2. Organ Support–Free Days.

A, Distributions of organ support–free days (see the Methods section for definition) by study group as the cumulative proportion (y-axis) for each study group by day (x-axis), with death listed first. Curves that rise more slowly are more favorable. B, Organ support–free days as horizontally stacked proportions by study group. Red represents worse values and blue represents better values. The median adjusted odds ratios from the primary analysis, using a bayesian cumulative logistic model, were 1.43 (95% credible interval, 0.91-2.27) and 1.22 (95% credible interval, 0.76-1.94) for the fixed-dose and shock-dependent hydrocortisone groups compared with the no hydrocortisone group, yielding 93% and 80% probabilities of superiority over the no hydrocortisone group, respectively.
