Figure 2 .
Adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) response of the human corticotrophin releasing hormone test on days 7 and 14 in very low birthweight infants with relatively normal blood pressure (group 1) and in hypotensive infants requiring inotropic support (group 2). The values are mean (SEM). The area under the curve (AUC) is significantly greater in group 2 than in group 1, on both day 7 (p = 0.004) and 14 (p = 0.004).
