  1. Unadjusted model: Includes no covariates. Model 1: Adjusts for baseline demographic characteristics, including Age, Race, Gender, and BMI. Model 2: Further adjusts for comorbidities, including AKI, CA, CKD, T2DM, COPD, MI, and HF. Model 3: Includes treatment factors of ICU admission, including Antihypertensive use, Glucocorticoid use, NBPM, RR, Spo2, and Temperaturef. Model 4: Adds laboratory results, including WBC, RBC, Hb, Cr, BUN, Na, K, Calcium, and PLT. Model 5: Further includes clinical scores, such as SOFA, SAPSII, and GCS.
