Table 4. Ratio of immune response after LPS stimulation and 28-day mortality ^a.

	All (N = 75) Median (IQR)	Non-survivors (n = 14) Median (IQR)	Survivors (n = 61) Median (IQR)	P value
G-CSF	2.06 (3.85)	3.70 (4.99)	2.01 (2.87)	0.230
IL-10	1.60 (0.78)	1.42 (1.17)	1.65 (0.73)	0.669
IL-6	2.68 (2.69)	4.60 (5.98)	2.62 (1.70)	0.017
TNF-α	2.09 (1.95)	2.85 (4.56)	2.05 (1.55)	0.027

^a Kruskal-Wallis test was used for assessing the association between post LPS stimulation immune response and immune dysfunction score.

G-CSF, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α
