Rho and P value by Spearman rank correlation. Variables included in multivariate analysis are age, creatinine, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, TNF-alpha, procalcitonin, lactic acid, albumin, and APACHE II score. A-FABP, adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein; APACHE II, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment index of insulin resistance.
