Ln, natural logarithm; T, t statistic value; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; Ang-2, angiopoietin-2; CRP, C-reactive protein; SE, standard error; PaO₂, arterial oxygen tension.

Analysis using a mixed model to account for the random effect between subjects (logarithmic transformed VEGF and Ang-2 values were used).
