Variables are expressed as mean (standard deviation) and categorical data are expressed as number (percentage). Continuous variables were analyzed by Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical data by χ² test. ICU: Intensive care unit; Apache: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; ARDS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome; SIRS: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome; RRT: Renal replacement therapy; CHF: Congestive heart failure; CVA: Cerebrovascular disease; COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
