  1. Binary variables are shown as absolute number (percentage), and continuous variables are shown as median (interquartile range). Odds ratio, 95% CI and p values are calculated using univariable logistic regression towards the primary endpoint for the purpose of constructing a clinical risk model. Explanation for variable exclusion from the risk model follows
  2. SAPS Simplified Acute Physiology Score; COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CRP C-reactive protein; ACE angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor; ARB angiotensin II receptor blockers; NSAID non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  3. * Excluded from the risk model due to p value above 0.3 in univariable logistic regression
  4. Excluded because the variable was not indisputably available to treating clinician at admission
  5. Excluded due to p value above 0.1 in multivariable logistic regression
  6. §Excluded because the risk model already contains SAPS without renal or age points
  7. #Excluded due to too many missing values
