ORs (95% CIs) for all-cause in-hospital mortality across groups of LDH level

Models	Odds ratio (95% confidence interval), p value			p for trend
		OR (95% CI)	p value
Model 1	Level A vs. level B and C	1.83 (1.68–1.98)	< 0.001	< 0.001
Model 2	Level A vs. level B and C	1.87 (1.02–2.03)	< 0.001	< 0.001
Model 3	Level A vs. level B and C	1.32 (1.24–1.40)	< 0.001	< 0.001

Model 1. Adjusted for age, sex, and ethnicity

Model 2 Adjusted for model 1 plus history of diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, history liver disease, and stroke

Model 3. Adjusted for model 2 plus white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, creatinine, bun, INR, and total bilirubin. Albumin, SAPSII, SOFA, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, lactate, length of hospital stay, renal replacement therapy, use of vasopressin, and use of ventilator

Level A LDH value < 203 U/L, Level B LDH value in 203 U/L-392 U/L, Level C LDH value > 392 U/L
