Table 1.
The median relative occurrence (proportions of samples) for all individual patients in each microdialysis category (ischemia, metabolic crisis, hyperglycolysis, normal) by temperature. There were 1894 samples without hyperthermia in 28 patients and 661 with hyperthermia in 22 of the 28 patients.

a
Body temperature when microdialysis sample collected.
b
Ischemia: L/P ratio >40 and pyruvate <50; Metabolic crisis: L/P ratio >25 and pyruvate 50–120; Hyperglycolysis: L/P ratio <40, lactate >4, and pyruvate >120.
c
The relative occurrence of the microdialysis categories was calculated for each patient, and then the median relative occurrence for all patients was calculated.
