Table 3. Correlation of MDA serum levels with lactic acid, SOFA, APACHE-II, age, coagulation markers and interleukins in severe septic patients.

	MDA serum levels
Lactatemia (mmol/L)	rho = 0.26; P<0.001
SOFA score (punctuation)	rho = 0.40; P<0.001
APACHE-II score (punctuation)	rho = 0.24; P<0.001
Age	rho = 0.10; P = 0.06
Platelets	rho = -0.33; P<0.001
INR	rho = 0.35; P<0.001
aPTT	rho = 0.21; P = 0.001
TNF-alpha	rho = 0.36; P<0.001
IL-10	rho = 0.34; P<0.001

SOFA = Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score; APACHE-II = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II; INR = International normalized ratio; aPTT = Activated partial thromboplastin time; TNF = Tumor necrosis factor; IL = Interleukin; rho = Spearmańs rank correlation coefficient.
