Multivariate logistic regression of potential predictors of Mortality in the ED.

Variables	OR (95 % CI)	p-value
ED mortality (reference: no)
HFpEF only	9.07 (1.98–41.60)	0.005
Vital signs HR(increase by 10 units)	1.42 (1.06–1.89)	0.02
Intubation first 24 h	23.45 (4.61–119.25)	<0.0001
Site of infection—lung	0.11 (0.02–0.66)	0.02
Bacteria in wound—Enterococcus	58.94 (6.01–578.23)	<0.0001

Variables included in the model were.

Imposed: HFpEF—(reference: no HFpEF and no HFrEF).

Stepwise: age; gender (reference: female); vital signs heart rate (HR); smoking; chronic kidney disease; hypertension; dyslipidemia; coronary artery disease; atrial fibrillation; diabetes mellitus; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); lactate at presentation; procalcitonin; creatinine; phosphate; IV fluid first 6 h; IV fluid given in the first 24 h; norepinephrine given in the first 24h; steroids given in the first 24 h; intubation first 24 h; intubation in the first 48 h; site of infection (lung; urine; gastrointestinal system), urine bacteria; bacteria in wound—Enterococcus.

CI, confidence interval; ED, emergency department; h, hours; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; IV, intravenous; OR, odds ratio.
