  1. AIC Akaike information criterion, SMR standardized mortality ratio
  2. aBased on Groennesby and Borgan test
  3. bThe new model for 90-day hospital mortality included BMI, medical admission, inotropes or vasopressors, acetylsalicylic acid or clopidogrel, APACHE II score and the interaction between BMI and APACHE II score
  4. cThe new model for 90-day ICU mortality consisted of BMI, medical admission, invasive mechanical ventilation and APACHE II score
