Serum Levels of RNases.

	Healthy (n = 10)	Surgery (n = 9)	Sepsis (n = 20)	p-Value
RNase 1 (ng/mL) (IQR)	188.7 (188.0–216.2)	257.5 (196.2–273.3)	572.6 (534.5–582.9)	<0.0001
RNase 3 (μg/mL) (IQR)	2.2 (1.5–5.7)	10.8 (6.3–12.6)	34.1 (17.8–43.5)	<0.0001
RNase 7 (ng/mL) (IQR)	n.d.	4.3 (1.0–7.3) #	13.0 (2.7–22.1) ##	0.28

Categorical and continuous variables are presented as n (%) and median (interquartile range, IQR), respectively. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively. n.d., not detected; ^# only detected in 2/9 patients; ^## only detected in 10/20 patients.
