*C5a, iC3b: C3 ratio, Factor B, Ba and Factor D were measured in 48 patients, among whom 26 needed an intensive care unit (ICU) admission and 22 did not. **Alternative pathway (AP) hemolytic activity was performed in 38 patients (21 ICU, 17 non-ICU) based on the availability of samples. Statistical tests for comparison were done using the Mann-Whitney U test. Values are represented as median (interquartile range).
