  1. To calculate each logistic GLM, Death/Alive outcome was coded as binary variable. Odd ratios (COR), 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) and p-values were calculated using one GLM for each studied variable separately. Values highlighted in bold presented: OR > 1, values of OR contained into the 95%CI range and p-values < 0.05
