Key inclusion criteria

All adult patients (18 years or older), who received a continuous infusion of norepinephrine base of 5 mcg/min or greater within the first 24 hours after ICU admission between November 2, 2020 and June 30, 2024.

Key exclusion criteria

We excluded patients who stayed in the ICU for less than 24 hours, patients undergoing mechanical circulatory support (venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intraaortic balloon pumping, microaxial flow pump, ventricular assist device), patients without invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring, and patients who opted out of this study.

Categorical variables will be summarized as frequencies and percentages and will be compared using the chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. Continuous variables will be expressed as medians with interquartile ranges and will be compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
To assess the construct validity of the lowest mean arterial pressure to norepinephrine equivalent dose ratio, we will first compare hospital mortality across its tertiles. We will then examine the association between mean arterial pressure/norepinephrine equivalent dose ratio tertiles and mortality at hospital and intensive care unit discharge using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The regression models will be adjusted for the following covariates: age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index, presence of sepsis or septic shock at ICU admission, emergency admission status, mechanical ventilation within the first 24 hours, and renal replacement therapy within the first 24 hours. These covariates will be selected based on clinical relevance.
Next, we will evaluate the prognostic validity of the mean arterial pressure/norepinephrine equivalent dose ratio for hospital and intensive care unit mortality by comparing it with the lowest mean arterial pressure and highest norepinephrine equivalent dose, using restricted cubic spline models. To compare their discriminative performance, we will conduct logistic regression analyses and will calculate the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Additionally, we will perform a subgroup analysis focusing on patients with sepsis or septic shock.
