Multivariable logistic regression analysis for in-hospital mortality in ED patients with severe sepsis and septic shock
| Variable | Adjusted OR (95% CI) |
| PIRO 0–8 | Reference |
| PIRO 9–17 | 2.19 (0.85 to 5.63) |
| PIRO ≥18 | 4.85 (1.60 to 14.74) |
| All quality performance measures attained (full compliance) | 0.37 (0.16 to 0.88) |
| Admission to ICU and/or MCU | 2.12 (1.10 to 1.87) |
| Treatment at academic medical centre | 0.93 (0.47 to 1.87) |
For exact definition of quality performance measures, see text. All variables were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality except location of treatment.
For all variables, adjusted ORs with 95% CIs are shown.
The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test p value was 0.857, n=353.
ICU, intensive care unit; MCU, medium care unit; PIRO, Predisposition, Infection, Response and Organ failure illness severity score.
