Variables included in the analysis were determined through a backward stepwise variable selection process (see details in Methods). Variable selection was performed independently for the two models with intensive care unit and mortality, respectively, as outcome.

a

Reference: Non-Hispanic patients.

b

Diabetes includes comorbidity code of “diabetes” or hemoglobin A1c > 9%.

Abbreviations: COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ESRD, end-stage renal disease.
