Discussion The present study has two main findings. First, in-hospital mortality increased gradually with decreasing SBP and SpO2, without the existence of a single threshold for these vital signs. For DBP, MAP and HR, we found quasi-U-shaped associations with in-hospital mortality. A single cut-off existed for MAP, RR and temperature; however, using these single cut-offs would ignore further increase of risk with more extreme values of these vital signs.
