Correlation of plasma sRAGE levels and clinical parameters
| Parameters | Correlation with plasma sRAGE (pg/ml) |
|---|---|
| SOFA score | P=0.38, r=0.21 |
| PaO2:FiO2 ratio (kPa) | P < 0.05, r=0.36 |
| PaCO2 (kPa) | P=0.78, r=0.06 |
| Tidal volume (mL/kg predicted weight) | P=0.08, r=0.39 |
| PEEP (cmH2O) | P=0.18, r=0.33 |
sRAGE, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; PaO2, arterial oxygen tension; FiO2, inspiratory oxygen fraction; PaCO2, arterial carbon dioxide tension; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure.
