Dynamic changes of laboratory parameters during hospitalization for survivors and non-survivors. (A) Leukocyte count, (B) Lymphocyte count, (C) Neutrophil count, (D) Platelet count, (E) AST/ALT, (F) BUN, (G) Creatinine, (H) TnI, (I) CRP. The dotted lines in red/black show the lower/upper normal limit of each parameter, and the shaded areas represent the normal reference range of each parameter. Data are median (IQR). *Indicate difference between the survivors and non-survivors by t tests or Mann-Whitney U test. Significant differences are expressed as follows: * < 0.05, ** < 0.01, *** < 0.001. IQR, interquartile range; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; TnI, troponin I; CRP, C reactive protein; ADM-, admission to hospital; PRE-, pre-intubation; POST-1 to POST-7, post-intubation day 1 to post-intubation day 7.
