Figure 2

The mortality in polymicrobial sepsis (CASP) is significantly increased compared to sham-operation (laparotomy without CASP or vagotomy) by 63.6% versus 100% (*P = 0.025, n = 10 and 33, resp.). The survival of the vagotomised CASP group (VGX + CASP, n = 33) is significantly decreased further to 35.3% (CASP versus VGX + CASP: # P = 0.048). Vagotomy itself (n = 10) does not affect the survival rate (100%).
