Values are expressed as counts (%) or medians (25th; 75th centiles). ASD, absolute standardized difference, ICU, intensive care unit; LOS, length of stay; SOFA : sequential organ failure Assessment. Missing metabolic parameters were as follows: no patients lacked data for body temperature, 1 (0.1%) lacked data for glycaemia, 36 (3.8%) for lactatemia, and 151 (15.8%) for both cholesterolemia and triglyceridemia. No missing data.
