Text: In a multivariate model, higher age (odds ratio [OR], 1. 048, 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1. 011-1. 086 ; P =. 010), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) lower than 40 % (OR, 3. 03 ; 95 % CI, 1. 200-7. 510 ; P =. 019 compared with LVEF of 40 % -59 % ; OR, 3. 571 ; 95 % CI, 1. 503-8. 196 ; P =. 004 compared with LVEF higher than 60 %), higher EuroSCORE (OR, 1. 138 ; 95 % CI ; 1. 007-1. 285 ; P =. 038), red blood cell transfusion (OR, 1. 230 ; 95 % CI, 1. 086-1. 393 ; P =. 001), and lactate levels 6 hours after ICU admission (OR, 3. 28, 95 % CI ; 1. 61-6. 69 ; P =. 001) are predictors of major complications.
