Fig 1 The cumulative hazard function of all-cause death, adjusted by the maximum cardiovascular score, was significantly higher in patients with a maximum sequential organ failure (SOFA) score >10 (thick line) than in those with a score ≤10 (thin hatched line).

Fig 2 The cumulative hazard function of death or hospitalization for a cardiovascular event, adjusted by the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) and maximum liver score, was significantly higher in patients with a maximum cardiovascular score (CV) ≥3 (thick line) than in those with a score of <3 (thin hatched line).

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier survival curves in 115 patents with a prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay (continuous line) and in the matched control group with an ICU stay of ≤96 hours (hatched line). Numbers below the x axis are patients exposed at risk at different time intervals.
