Figure 4. Increased Circulating MDSCs in Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock Patients with Subacute Mortality.

Figure 4

A. Patients who succumb to early mortality (<14 days) have significantly elevated percentages of MDSCs when compared to patients that survive greater than 14 days at both the 12 and 24 hour time points from onset of clinical sepsis. MDSC levels then sharply decline until death. Patients that survive longer than 14 days have similar levels of MDSCs; however, MDSCs are slightly elevated at all time-points in those patients that remain in the ICU longer than 14 days. At 14 days, patients that will continue to remain in the ICU have significantly elevated percentages of MDSCs compared to those patients who are transferred out of the ICU. B. Total number of patients per time point.
