Figure 1 Sub-group analysis of co-effects of coma on other mortality-associated risk factorsAll patients were grouped according to whether they were comatose or not. Coma (GCS ≤8) was applied as a stratification factor. Among the coma patients, older age and higher RR, HCT, PLT, and CKMB were all harmful factors (OR≥1, and P value less than 0.05) (all P≤0.05). These results indicated that an additional 1 year of age, 1/min of RR, 1% of HCT, and 1×109/L of PLT increased the risks of death by 3%, 6%, 4%, and 0.3%, respectively (all P≤0.05). GCS – Glasgow Coma Scale; APACHE II score – Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score; SOFA score – Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score; HR – heart rate; RR – respiratory rate; MAP – mean arterial pressure; Tmax – the max body temperature; Tadmit – the body temperature at admission; HCT – hematocrit; PLT – platelets; TBIL – total bilirubin; ALB – albumin; SCr – serum creatinine; CK-MB – creatine kinase isoenzyme. The data of the figure were calculated and compared using R language with EmpowerStats 2.0 software, and the forest plot was drawn using Python 3.8.
