The proportion of patients who died within 3 days based on the P3did-score (EASED study)

	P3did-score (0–4) (%)
	0	1	2	3	4
Death ≤ 1 day	4.3	10.8	20.1	32.3	48.9
Death ≤ 2 days	10.9	22.6	35.3	51.4	70.1
Death ≤ 3 days	17.4	32.8	47.2	62.9	79.6

The P3did-score is the sum of 4 systems: nervous (decreased level of consciousness as indicated by RASS ≤ −2), cardiovascular (peripheral cyanosis, pulselessness of radial artery, and decreased u/o), respiratory (apnea, Cheyne-Stokes breathing, and respiration with mandibular movement), and musculoskeletal (inability to close eyelids, hyperextension of the neck, and drooping of nasolabial folds) systems. If any sign is present within each system, a score of 1 is given to the system, with the total score ranging from 0–4, and a higher score signifying a greater likelihood of death within 3 days.
