Details

Due to inconsistent registration of norepinephrine dosages, it's not possible to distinguish between high (>0.1) and low (<=0.1) dosage of norepinephrine. When norepinephrine is present 3.5 points are given. Researchers can either round this to 4 (overestimate), 3 (underestimate) or leave it as is.
