Data are presented as n (%), unless otherwise stated. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval. The sepsis score can be defined with regard to the risk class as follows: 1) low-risk class, nonsepsis; 2) intermediate-risk class, sepsis; 3) high-risk class, severe sepsis or septic shock. The CRB-65 score can be defined with regard to the risk class as follows: 1) low-risk class, 0 points; 2) intermediate-risk class, 1 or 2 points; 3) high-risk class, 3 or 4 points. #: Cochrane Armitage Trend Test for mortality.
