Table 2. Comparison of the plasma biomarker levels between the survivors and nonsurvivors of sepsis.
Survivors (n = 38) | Nonsurvivors (n = 31) | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
CIRP (ng/mL), median (IQR) | 1.68 (1.41–13.90) | 4.99 (2.37–30.17) | 0.013 |
WBC (×10 9 /L), median (IQR) | 11.91(8.88–16.96) | 13.74(8.70–17.10) | 0.708 |
N%, median (IQR) | 89.28(86.71–92.66) | 89.60(86.74–93.70) | 0.814 |
PCT (ng/mL), median (IQR) | 1.79(0.49–12.95) | 2.38(0.56–9.70) | 0.937 |
Lactate (mmol/L), median (IQR) | 1.20(0.70–1.73) | 1.90(1.20–4.10) | 0.002 |
Creatinine (mmol/L), median (IQR) | 83.80(55.90–123.05) | 124.40(81.50–315.00) | 0.039 |
CIRP = cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, WBC = white blood cell, N% = neutrophil ratio, PCT = procalcitonin.
The p-values for these biomarkers were obtained using the Mann-Whitney U test. A p-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
IQR = inter-quartile range, SD = standard deviation.
