Other risk factors for ICUAW.

Risk factor	ICUAW cases	Controls	value
Hyperglycaemia	17 (29.82%)	20 (35.08%)	0.54
NMBs	1 (1.75%)	1 (1.75%)	1
Aminoglycosides	11 9 (19.29%)	9 (15.78%)	0.62
Sepsis	37 (64.91%)	30 (52.63%)	0.18
Steroids	26 (45.61%)	24 (42.1%)	0.7
Vasopressors	28 (49.12%)	15 (0.26%)	0.01
MV duration (days)	6.4 (8.56%)	0.89 (2.53%)	<0.001
