Table 2 Unadjusted and adjusted Cox models with gamma frailty (total number of events: 469) on mortality in 6872 hospital admissions. The HR of SIPI (> 50 vs ≤50) was estimated separately within 2 time-intervals: before and after day 10 since admission. The effect of SIPI as a continuous variable estimated on a separate multivariable model is also reported
