Continuous variables are presented as and compared by using the Mann-Whitney test. Categorical data are presented as no. (%) and compared by using the Pearson test. The number of organ failures includes only nonpulmonary organ failures. APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; SD = standard deviation; SOFA = Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment.
