American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) and quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) scores were higher in the mortality group. In contrast, the survival group included more cases of SR necessitated by surgical treatment. In multivariate analysis, ASA-PS\u2009\u2265\u20093 (odds ratio [OR], 5.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2\u201336), complications caused by non-surgical therapy (OR, 5.5; 95% CI 1.8\u201319), and qSOFA score\u2009\u2265\u20092 (OR, 4.5; 95% CI 1.3\u201317) were independent prognostic factors. The total risk factors for FTR obtained in the multivariate analysis were calculated and established as the SRSS.
