* Note that the odds ratio corresponds to a unit increase in the explanatory variable; for copeptin this corresponds to an increase per unit of the log-transformation of copeptin (thus a log transformed increase of 1 corresponds to a copeptin increase of 10 pmol/l). ICH Score according to Hemphill [15]; ICH Grading Scale according to Ruiz-Sandoval [16]
