Furthermore, in Model 2, after additional adjustments for RDW, WBC, Bicarbonate, Chloride, Serum Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, HF, AF, Mechanical Ventilation, iv-tPA, and Vasopressin, the ePWV continued to serve as an independent predictor for in-hospital 28-day mortality (HR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.28, P = 0.0033) and ICU 28-day mortality (HR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.16, 1.48, P < 0.0001). This evidence concerns the gene PLAT and atrial fibrillation.
