sEPCR levels and diagnostic category. Soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) was quantified in blood samples harvested at ICU admission (within the first 24 h). a Patients were categorized according to diagnostic category at admission. Line in the box, median value; box edges, 25th to 75th centiles; whiskers, range of values. **p < 0.01 with Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison post hoc test. b Trauma patients (N = 53) were further divided according to the presence of at least one H3 allele.
