  • Bold entries indicate statistical significance.

  • *Unstandardised β coefficients were calculated from the multivariable logistic regression model.

  • ALT, alanine aminotransferase; APACHE II, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BMI, body mass index; NRS2002, Nutrition Risk Screening 2002; PA, prealbumin; PCT, procalcitonin.
