Table 4. Dysfunctional HDL (Dys-HDL) and lipid levels at enrollment and 48 hours after enrollment by in-hospital death and 28-day mortality.

Student’s T test was performed for HDL-C, LDL-C, and lactate; Wilcoxon’s rank sum test was used for Dys-HDL and SOFA score; and Pearson’s Chi Square test was used for mechanical ventilation and vasopressors use comparisons.HDL, high density lipoprotein. LDL, low density lipoprotein. HII, HDL inflammatory index. SD, standard deviation. IQR, interquartile range.
