Legend: In the second column, the transitions in which each variable was selected as a risk factor (p-value < 0.2 in univariate analysis) are shown. Transition coding: (1) from ICU discharge to hospital discharge, (2) from ICU discharge to ICU non-invasive (no covariate tested), (3) from ICU discharge to ICU invasive (no covariate tested), (4) from ICU discharge to death (no covariate tested), (5) from ICU non-invasive to hospital discharge (no covariate tested), (6) from ICU non-invasive to ICU discharge, (7) from ICU non-invasive to ICU invasive, (8) from ICU non-invasive to ECMO (no covariate tested), (9) from ICU non-invasive to death, (10) from ICU invasive to hospital discharge, (11) from ICU invasive to ICU discharge, (12) from ICU invasive to ICU non-invasive, (13) from ICU invasive to ECMO, (14) from ICU invasive to death, (15) from ECMO to ICU non-invasive (no covariate tested), (16) from ECMO to ICU invasive, and (17) from ECMO to death. ICU: intensive care unit. ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. ICU non-invasive: in ICU without mechanical ventilation. ICU invasive: in ICU with mechanical ventilation. BMI: body mass index. SAPS: Simplified Acute Physiology Score. SOFA: sequential organ failure assessment score. CRP: C-reactive protein.
