LOS = length of stay, NA = not available.
aSurvivors only.
bICU mortality = number of ICU deaths as a proportion of the whole cohort.
c28-d status—missing information in 72 patients.
dHome with home health = patient discharged home with a provision of a wide range of healthcare services given in his/her home for an illness or injury.
eThis is explained by tracheostomy patients not being admitted to ICU.
