Risk factors of adverse outcome
At the end of follow-up, all non-critical patients and 35 of 63 critical
patients were discharged. 28 critical patients needed invasive
mechanical ventilation, 16 of whom died during the hospitalization, and
another 12 patients were transferred to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan
University with tracheotomy. By multivariate logistic regression, we
found that hs-cTnI elevation (OR 6.069, 95%CI 2.358-15.615;p =0.000) and
echocardiographic signs of
pulmonary hypertension of pulmonary hypertension (OR 3.635, 95%CI
1.257-10.509; p =0.017) may be the independent risk factors of
adverse outcome. (Table 4)
