Table 3. Correlation of serum caspase-cleaved citokeratin (CCCK)-18 levels with serum levels of TNF-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and lactic acid, and with SOFA and APACHE-II scores.

	rho	P-value
TNF-α	0.09	0.31
Interleukin-6	0.15	0.03
Interleukin-10	0.11	0.21
Lactic acid (mmol/L)	0.20	0.003
SOFA score	0.27	<0.001
APACHE score	0.30	<0.001

TNF = tumor necrosis factor; SOFA = Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score; APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II score; rho = Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
