Adjustment of the constant term: (−1.2651599) + 0.5224832 × (−4.497735) = −3.6151509. Adjustment of dyspnea coefficient: 0.52248321.015233 = 0.5304422. Adjustment of associated infections coefficient: 0.52248321.003439 = 0.5242800. Adjustment of neutrophil <500/mm³ coefficient: 0.52248321.145403 = 0.5984538. Adjustment of jaundice coefficient: 0.52248321.490908 = 0.7789744. Adjustment of mucosal bleeding coefficient: 0.52248321.415629 = 0.7396424. Adjustment of platelets <50,000/mm³coefficient: 0.52248322.458888 = 1.2847277.
