ROC curve with SOFA score and other inflammatory biomarkers for prediction of transfer to ICU. The red line represents the reference; the blue line represents the lymphocyte count (AUC =0.440); the light green line represents the IL-6 concentration (AUC =0.512); the earthy green line represents the CRP concentration (AUC =0.706); the purple line represents the PCT concentration (AUC =0.537); and the yellow line represents the SOFA score (AUC =0.602). IL-6, interleukin-6; CRP, C-reactive protein; PCT, procalcitonin; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; ICU, intensive care unit; AUC, area under the curve.
