  1. a Plus–minus values are means ±SD. SIRS-positive status was defined if the patient fulfilled at least two SIRS criteria, and SIRS-negative status if the patient fulfilled zero or one SIRS criterion. ICU denotes intensive care unit
  2. Scores on the APACHE II range from 0 to 71, with higher scores indicating more severe disease
