  1. Data are number (%), mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range)
  2. ICU, intensive care unit; RASS, Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale
  3. ¶,Increase of triglyceride was defined as the difference between the triglyceride at discontinuation of study drug and the baseline triglyceride
  4. §, The diagnostic criteria of serum triglyceride concentration for mild, moderate and severe hypertriglyceridemia are between 1.7 to 2.3 mmol/L, between 2.3 to 11.2 mmol/L and above 11.2 mmol/L, respectively
