All subjects included in Study A (n = 63) and subjects with post-ICU samples (n = 49), and all subjects included in Study B (n = 100) and subjects with post-ICU samples (n = 92). Comparison of survivors and nonsurvivors was done in each group using Mann-Whitney or Fischer’s exact tests. SAPS III, simplified acute physiology score III; LOS, length of stay; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment.
