  1. qSOFA scores were assessed with the most abnormal vital signs taken during the 24-h period before the ICU admission
  2. In-hospital mortality was defined as any cause of death censored at 28 days or at 90 days after the ICU admission
  3. ICU intensive care unit, IQR interquartile range, qSOFA quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment
