Associations between the vital signs and 90-day in-hospital mortality in discovery cohort (FORECAST cohort). Non-elderly patients with BT < 36.0 °C showed a significant increase for hazard of death over 90-day period. The hypothermia was not associated with mortality in elderly patients. Heart rate > 90 beats/min and RR > 30 breaths/min had a significant association for increased mortality in elderly patients. CI, confidence interval. The adjusted hazard ratio was calculated using potentially confounding factors such as the age, sex, chronic steroid use, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score
