Adjusted mortality (adjusted for age, blood pressure, body mass index, cholesterol, triglycerides, alcohol, exercise, and existing disease) was 2,616 per 100,000 person years.
Mortality adjusted for age group was significantly increased in patients with a moderate (HR = 2.00) and even more in those with a high level (HR = 3.62) of comorbidity.
Future studies reporting acute and post-acute mortality, adjusted for confounding, should incorporate multiple control populations to help us answer this question.
Another retrospective analysis of 12,108 patients found no association between PaO2 deciles or hyperoxemia defined as PaO2 >309 mmHg and mortality adjusted for illness severity [140].
Primary outcome measure was that of ICU mortality adjusted for disease severity and secondary outcome measure was length of ICU stay.
Finally, odds ratio (OR) for the association of serum sodium >160 mEq/L on ICU mortality adjusted for GCS, age, cerebrovascular disease, intracranial hemorrhage, and mechanical ventilation were presented.
We also did a sensitivity analysis for the presence or absence of left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%, using logistic regression with respect to ICU and hospital mortality, adjusted for age and APACHE II score.
In the MetaPlus study, immune-modulating high-protein (IMHP) enteral feeding enriched with glutamine, fish oil and antioxidants was compared with standard high-protein (HP) enteral feeding in critically ill patients, and a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.57 (95% CI, 1.03 2.39; P = 0.04) was shown for 6-month mortality adjusted for age and APACHE-II score comparing IMHP with HP [7].
Describe the clinic-epidemiological characteristics of elderly patients (³80 years) admitted to ICU for medical reasons, analyze the impact of orotracheal intubation (IOT), acute renal failure (RF) and shock at the mortality adjusted for habitual scales (APACHE II, SAPS II and SOFA).
Associations with mortality, adjusted for age, sex, and frailty, remained unchanged as each individual social deficit was left out of the CSHA social vulnerability index in the "jackknife by variables" procedure (Table S2).
Table 2 shows the HR and 95% CI from Cox proportional hazard models examining the association between different permutations of CMV serostatus and CRP level and all-cause or CVD-related mortality, adjusted for confounders.
