DISCUSSION
Table 5: Comparison of logistic regression
The main objective of this study was to determine if BNP models
data would add prognostication to existing clinical variables Model Unstandardized Coefficients T Significance
in ICU patients with severe sepsis and septic shock and coefficients beta
if it could be a helpful tool in the emergency department. B Std. error

The findings of this study can be summarized as APACHE II 5.157E04 0.000 0.473 2.889 0.008
follows:(i) Admission BNP differ between the survivors BNP 2.07E02 0.009 0.352 2.367 0.026
and the nonsurviviors,(ii) Admission APACHE II EF 1.921E02 0.026 0.129 0.753 0.05
