Covariates are sorted by the median value of their coefficients, along with their 95% and 99% Cis

Age approximate age of patient (one of 35, 45,…, 75 years), BUN blood urea nitrogen, CI confidence interval, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CRP C-reactive protein, : indicates interaction between two covariates

Negative median sign means association with decreased mortality (bold)
