Table 1

Independent risk factors of 6-week mortality in cirrhotic patients with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, determined by multivariate logistic regression model.

	Adjusted odds ratio	95% confidence interval
Male sex	4.35	1.14 ~ 16.62
Hypoxemia^#	9.42	3.65 ~ 24.30
HCC	2.31	1.12 ~ 4.78
Non-HCC malignancy	4.70	1.55 ~ 14.26
Bilirubin (per mg/dL)	1.07	1.02 ~ 1.13
INR (per unit)	2.88	1.28 ~ 6.51

^#Hypoxemia is defined as peripheral oxygen saturation less than 95%; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; INR: international normalized ration (adapted from [35]).
