Seventeen patients (24.28%) were admitted to ICU with an 18.57 mortality rate. Univariate analysis showed that ICU admission was significantly associated with higher respiration rate and heart rate, lower systolic blood pressure, confusion, CRP, lactate and creatinine serum (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0001, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0001, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001, respectively).
