Association between the timing of ICU admission and mortality in patients with hospital-onset sepsis: a nationwide prospective cohort study

Table 2 In-hospital mortality according to the timing of ICU admission

Group	No. of deaths/total no. of patients (%)	P value	Unadjusted OR (95% CI)	Adjusted OR (95% CI)^a
Unmatched cohort
Early admission	181/470 (38.5)	0.44	1.14 (0.84–1.54)	1.35 (0.99–1.85)
Delayed admission	119/286 (41.6)	0.44	1.14 (0.84–1.54)	1.35 (0.99–1.85)
Propensity-score-matched cohort
Early admission	83/239 (34.7)	0.13	1.35 (0.93–1.96)	1.38 (0.94–2.02)
Delayed admission	100/239 (41.8)	0.13	1.35 (0.93–1.96)	1.38 (0.94–2.02)

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval
^aIn the unmatched cohort, odds ratios were adjusted for age and initial sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores. In the propensity score-matched cohort, the odds ratios were adjusted for age, SOFA scores, and propensity scores
