Figure 2. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Scores.

The median number of days from which the mean Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was calculated from randomization was 11 days (IQR, 5-14) for the standard care group and 7 days (IQR, 3-14) for the landiolol group.

The horizontal black lines represent the median; box ends, IQR; the upper and lower whiskers, Q3+1.5 × IQR and Q1+1.5 × IQR, respectively; open circles, the mean of the SOFA score; and the filled circles, outliers.
