Imposed: type of cancer (reference: Solid).
Stepwise: age; gender (reference: male); coronaryartery 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 in the first 24 hours.
