Ultimate hospital mortality excludes admissions who were readmissions to the intesnive care unit within the same hospital stay, admissions whose ultimate hospital discharge status was missing, and admissions for whom any of the entered risk factors were missing. aDuring first 24 hours following unit admission. ABG, arterial blood gas; CI, confidence interval; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; FiO2, fractional inspired oxygen; OR, odds ratio; PaCO2, arterial carbon dioxide tension; PaO2, arterial oxygen tension.
