Multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to find independent variables for ICU mortality.

Description
Summary:	Multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to find independent variables for ICU mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed necessity of norepinephrine, mechanical ventilation, or enteral nutrition as independent risk factors for ICU mortality (2.3 [1.1-4.9], 5.7 [2.6-12.2], and 2.3 [1.2-4.5] respectively; P < .05).
