Fig. 4 — In dogs with sepsis, procalcitonin (PCT) clearance over the first 48 h of hospitalization is significantly greater in survivors than in non-survivors. Box and whisker plots comparing serial plasma PCT concentrations at baseline (T0), + 24 h (T1) and + 48 h (T2) in survivors and non-survivors. The central lines represent the median, the boxes represent the interquartile range and the whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values. Survivors showed a significant decline in PCT concentrations from baseline to T1 (P < 0.01) and T2 (P = 0.001) by Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn’s post-hoc multiple comparisons test. No statistically significant difference in serial PCT concentrations was detected for non-survivors between any of the time points (overall Kruskal-Wallis P = 0.06)
