  1. Mean and median in-hospital survival times were defined as days from admission to our or another hospital until death or discharge from our hospital
  2. CI confidence interval, n.d. not determined, SD standard deviation
  3. aIn the subgroup with HBOT, the SD and 95% CI of the median in-hospital survival time could not be calculated due to lack of variability after the median
