Fig 2. Observed survival rates of 1,400 critically ill neonatal calves with diarrhea in deciles of electrolyte, phosphorus, and L-lactate and D-lactate concentrations.

Dashed vertical lines indicate the reference range [40, 46, 51, 52] of respective variables and the dashed horizontal line indicates the overall survival rate of calves of this study population. Survival rates of decile groups that were significantly different (P ≤ 0.006) from the survival rate of the reference group (arrow) are indicated by asterisks.
