SICU mortality was independently related to age (OR=1.125; 95%CI: 1.042-1.215; P=.003), SAPS II (OR=1.026; 95% CI: 1.008-1.044; P=.004), need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) (OR=1.960; 95%CI: 1.046-3.671; P=.036) and need for mechanical ventilation for more than 24hours (OR=2.834; 95%CI: 1.244-6.456; P=.013).
