Abbreviations: APACHE II: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; CCI: Charlson Comorbidity Index; MV: mechanical ventilation; CI: confidence interval; OP: operation; outvisits: number of outpatient visits; dept: department; H/D: hemodialysis; invisits: number of inpatient visits. The CCI combined with age, sex, and MV was named as CCI: MODEL 2. The CCI combined with age, sex, MV, OP, outvisits, dept, H/D, and invisits was named as CCI: MODEL 1.
