  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation, or count (percentage). SBP indicates systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; WBC, white blood cell count;
  2. ICU intensive care unit. ICU stay was recorded within current admission. Mortality was recorded up to 30 days after enrollment
