	In-hospital mortality
	OR	95% CI		P value
		Lower	Upper
Type of cancer—liquid	1.15	0.7	1.9	0.58
Site of infection: blood	0.52	0.31	0.89	0.02
Site of infection: lung	1.99	1.27	3.14	0.003
Temperature	0.6	0.47	0.77	<0.0001
BUN	1.03	1.01	1.04	<0.0001
Creatinine	0.75	0.58	0.97	0.03
Intubation in the first 24 hours	3.61	1.75	7.44	<0.0001

Imposed: type of cancer (reference: solid).

Stepwise: age; gender (reference: male); coronary artery disease; hypertension; diabetes mellitus; COPD; skin; blood; lung; gallbladder; temperature; heart rate; oxygen saturation; WCC; ANC; haemoglobin; BUN; creatinine; bicarbonate; sodium; intravenous fluids in the first 6 hours; intubation inthe first 24 hours.

ANC, absolute neutrophil count; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; COPD, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; WCC, white cell count.
