The adjusted factors were initial CURB-65 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.331, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.587–10.987; p < 0.001), albumin (aOR 0.139, 95% CI 0.003–0.636; p = 0.01), d-dimer (aOR 1.001, 95% CI 1.000–1.002; p = 0.032), and HO-1 (aOR 1.116, 95% CI 1.055–1.180; p < 0.001) levels; these factors were significantly associated with 48-h sepsis episodes (Table 4). Here, ALB is linked to Sepsis.
