Continuous variables are median (interquartile range), with range shown for intensive care unit length of stay. Treatment-failure components are mutually summarized by the primary qualifying event. ICU: Intensive care unit; CT: Computed tomography; NJ: Nasojejunal; EN: Enteral nutrition; CRRT: Continuous renal replacement therapy; LOS: Length of stay.
