Mechanical ventilation (odds ratio-2.195, wald-1.596, P = 0.206 at df-1) and use of inotrops (odds ratio-1.494, wald-0.402, P = 0.526 at df-1) were not found as to be independent predictors of mortality while PRISM II (odds 1.229, wald-3.82, P = 0.051 at df - 1) score fell just short of statistical significance [ Table 3 ].
