Table II.

Means and serum albumin levels of patients on Day one to four of ICU admission. P-value measured by comparing serum albumin level of expired and discharged patients using two sample T-test.

Day of ICU admission	Discharged patients mean albumin (g/dL)	Expired patients mean albumin (g/dL)	Serum albumin <3.5g/dl (% of total discharged)/ expired (% of total expired)	P-value
Day 1	3.68±0.29	3.58±0.31	9(23%)/13(34%)	0.07
Day 2	3.62±0.31	3.52±0.32	11(28%)/15(39%)	0.08
Day 3	3.6±0.28	3.43±0.27	8(21%)/20(52%)	<0.001
Day 4	3.8±0.21	3.05±0.42	3(7%)/31(81%)	<0.001
