  1. Evaluation of mortality relative risk at hospital discharge, one-year, and two-year follow-up (in the two years of follow-up only the 29,661 patients with complete data were considered)
  2. ICU intensive care unit, SMR standard mortality ratio
  3. aHospital mortality predicted according to the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II
  4. bSMR calculated from mortality data at hospital discharge, one and two years of follow-up (see text for details)
