No. tested indicates number of prognostic features assessed; NR, not reported; BMT, bone marrow transplant; PBSCT, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation; V, vasopressors; LI, lung injury; HR, hepatic and renal injury.

F5-150

This is the positive predictive value of the feature.

F5-151

P < .05.

F5-152

Authors specified that they intended to evaluate both the individual predictors listed, as well as combinations of these predictors.

F5-153

Dopamine > 5 μg/kg/min or norepinephrine, epinephrine, or phenylephrine at any dose at any time after admission.

F5-155

Lung injury: Fraction of inspired oxygen > 60% or positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) > 5 cm H20 after the first 24 hours of admission.

F5-154

Simultaneous elevation of serum bilirubin > 68 μmol/L (4 mg/dL) and serum creatinine > 177 μmol/L (2 mg/dL) within the first 3 days of admission.

F5-159

Defined as the presence of lung injury and one or more of the other characteristics (hepatic and renal injury or 4 hours of vasopressors).

F5-160

Original analysis by Price et al. performed on a subset of validation cohort.
