The size of the diamonds reflects the sample size, and the whiskers extend to the lower and upper values of the 95% confidence interval (CI). The vertical dashed line shows the threshold value of OR = 1. The diamond without fill represents the pooled estimate using the inverse variance of OR. Khalid et al., 2015a is [16]. ICU represents intensive care unit
