Epithelial damage markers are differentially expressed in ARDS patients with and without pulmonary superinfections. Violin plots of (A) SP-D, (B) sRage, (C) VEGF, and (D) Angiopoetin-2 serum levels in ARDS patients with and without pulmonary superinfections. Blood samples were collected from ARDS patients within 24 h of disease onset and analyzed via multiplex immunoassay. A total of 25 ARDS patients with pulmonary superinfections and 27 ARDS patients without pulmonary superinfections were included in this study. Mean ± SD of log-transformed data; unpaired t-test; * p ≤ 0.05; ns = not significant; red violin plot = ARDS with superinfection; yellow violin plot = ARDS without superinfection.
