Length of stay and mortality outcomes.

	Protocol N= 145	Control N= 145	P-value
Length of Stay (mean ± SD)
ED (hours)	26.0 ± 29.0	19.4 ± 28.8	0.051
ICU (days)	5.8 ± 6.9	12.0 ± 38.9	0.285
GPU (days)	7.02 ± 6.2	7.1 ± 3.8	0.913
Hospital^1 (days)	10.7 ± 8.7	15.3 ± 29.8	0.148
Mortality no.()
In-hospital	46 (31.7)	69 (47.6)	0.006^∗
72-hour	17 (11.7)	11 (7.6)	0.233
28-day^2	30 (20.7)	47 (32.4)	0.014

LOS days were calculated only for those that did not expire in hospital (as shorter LOS times may be associated with early deaths). ²28 patients (19.3%) and 14 (9.7%) of patients had unknown 28-day mortality in the protocol and control groups, respectively.
^∗p=<0.05 considered significant.
