Analysis of sublingual microcirculation according to vessel diameter class. a, c, e Median and IQR values of vascular density, PBRstatic values and RBC velocity of healthy controls and sepsis patients according to diameter class from 4 to 25 µm. b, d, f Bar charts showing the correlation coefficient (Spearman) between microvascular and clinical variables. IQR inter quartile range, IL6 interleukin 6, PBR perfused boundary region, PCT procalcitonin, RBC red blood cell, SOFA score sequential organ failure assessment score. Q value (adjusted p value): *q < 0.05, **q < 0.01, ***q < 0.001
