Risks are presented as odds ratios (ORs) and are defined as mortality and requirement persistent ventilation. ORs for distributions of nominal and ordinal data were calculated using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method, and binary logistic analysis controlling for covariates (age, creatinine, APACHE III, ventilation volume, ethnicity, thrombocytopenia, and drug type) was used to calculate ORs for mortality, and persistent ventilation, between platelet count or sTLT-1 stratifications.

CI, confidence interval; ROC, receiver operator characteristic.
