^aLogistic regression with OR (95% CI) after adjusting baseline factors that each was with important clinical significance. These factors included: age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index (values were reduced for 1 point for pre-existing diabetes), time to admission, referral status, and admission triglyceride levels
