Box plot of plasma gelsolin concentration by the following 4-category ordinal scale of clinical outcome severity: general hospital floor care only, intensive care unit care, IRVS, and in-hospital death. The central horizontal line of each box plot represents the median, with the box denoting the interquartile range (IQR), the whiskers representing 1.5 times the IQR, and dots showing outliers beyond the whiskers. Abbreviations: ICU, intensive care unit; IQR, interquartile range; IRVS, invasive respiratory or vasopressor support; pGSN, plasma gelsolin.
