Data are n (%) and represent the available data for each variable. ICU=intensive care unit.
*
ICU mortality was derived for patients with date of ICU discharge equal to the date of hospital death, so it was available for patients without missing values on both dates (n=43 582).
†
The sum of non-invasive and invasive respiratory support when stratified by place (in ICU and outside ICU) does not match the total respiratory support type because of missing values on the variable ICU admission.
