Data are displayed as adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) values. The final model C-statistic value was 0.927 for discrimination of in-hospital mortality. Candidate variables which were not selected for the model included APACHE-IV predicted hospital mortality; race; invasive and noninvasive ventilator use; history of myocardial infarction, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, dialysis and stroke; peak VIS and NEE in first 24 hours; use of vasopressors in first 24 hours; IABP and PAC use; blood transfusion; CardShock score; LVEF; and admission diagnosis of heart failure or acute coronary syndrome.
