| Parameters | Odds ratio (OR) | 95% confidence interval (CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Age (per 1-year increase) | 1.01 | 1.00–1.02 |
| Sex | 1.17 | 0.82–1.66 |
| APACHE II (per 10-unit increase) | 2.46 | 1.80–3.35 |
| INR (per 1-unit increase) | 1.14 | 0.94–1.39 |
| Admission Diagnosis | 0.96 | 0.81–1.15 |
| Mechanical ventilation | 3.36 | 2.27–5.00 |
| Lactic Acid (>2mmol/L) | 1.21 | 0.83–1.77 |
| Vasopressors | 1.74 | 1.19–2.54 |
| Diabetes mellitus | 0.88 | 0.61–1.28 |
| Chronic cardiovascular | 1.31 | 0.90–1.92 |
| Chronic respiratory illness | 1.32 | 0.85–2.04 |
| Chronic liver disease | 2.26 | 1.26–4.07 |
The following variables were included in the model: Admission diagnosis; chronic liver disease; mechanical ventilation; International normalised ratio (INR); vasopressor use; Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II); Diabetes mellitus; Chronic cardiovascular disease; chronic respiratory disease; gender; age, lactic acid.
