Multivariate, forward stepwise logistic regression analysis in patients with an ICU length of stay of at least 5 days (n = 23,795), with intensive care unit mortality as the dependent factor.

<p><b><i>Organ dysfunction/organ failure at admission</i></b> depicts the risk of death for patients with organ dysfunction/organ failure on ICU admission, with a significant increase in the risk of death for all organ dysfunctions/organ failures.</p><p><b><i>Organ dysfunction/organ failure at admission and day 3</i></b> depict the risk of death for organ dysfunction/organ failure on ICU admission and on day 3. Here the impact of organ dysfunction/organ failure seen at ICU admission diminishes; except for patients admitted with respiratory organ dysfunction, all organ failure had a significant impact on the risk of death. All data are adjusted for age, gender and type of admission.</p><p>OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; CV, cardiovascular; ADM, individual organ dysfunction/organ failure at admission to ICU.</p><p>Multivariate, forward stepwise logistic regression analysis in patients with an ICU length of stay of at least 5 days (n = 23,795), with intensive care unit mortality as the dependent factor.
