Comparison of plasma biomarkers between pneumonia with ARDS and those without ARDS.
| With ARDS (n = 35) |
Without ARDS (n = 44) |
P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endocan (ng/mL), median (IQR) | 3.22 (2.47–5.14) | 2.45 (2.23–2.79) | 0.000 |
| PCT (ng/mL), median (IQR) | 4.25 (1.95–9.27) | 2.49 (0.55–9.95) | 0.186 |
| CRP (mg/L), median (IQR) | 135 (88.15–185.08) | 124.27 (95.78–165.57) | 0.961 |
| WBC (×109/L), median (IQR) | 14.78 (11.51–18.22) | 12.59 (10.19–16.52) | 0.108 |
| N (×109/L), median(IQR) | 13.45 (9.65–17.23) | 11.07 (8.43–14.52) | 0.056 |
*P values for these biomarkers by the Mann-Whitney U test. P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
