Mann-Whitney U tests were used for the analysis, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant between the groups. Median values are found in the article by Kovacevic et al[29]. CI: Confidence interval; CRP: C-reactive protein; HCO₃: Bicarbonate; pCO₂: Partial pressure of carbon dioxide; pO₂: Partial pressure of oxygen; PCT: Procalcitonin; T0: On the day of admission; T1: On the first day; T2: On the second day.
