Percentage of patients and standard error who were treated with endotracheal ventilation between 2002 and 2011.

Table 1.
Characteristics for the cohort of 6,436 patients who died within 30 days from their ICU admission between 2002 and 2011 and trend through the 10 years for all the covariates.
For gender, we show the percentage of male for each year. For vasopressors and inotropes (Yes/No), and for endotracheal ventilation (Yes/No) we provide percentage of patients who received the treatments. For all the other covariates we show median values with interquartile ranges.
