The basic model used to determine the propensity score was a multivariable, forward stepwise, logistic regression analysis with albumin administration as the dependent factor. aOn the day of onset of albumin administration in the albumin group and on admission in other patients. bAt any time during intensive care unit stay. CI, confidence interval; HES, hydroxyethyl starch; RBC, red blood cell; SEM, standard error of mean; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment. | |||||
