TABLE 3.
Comparison of laboratory examination, ventilator parameters, APACHE II score, and SOFA score before treatment between the two groups of patients.
| ARDSp (n = 111) | ARDSexp (n = 45) | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laboratory examination before treatment | |||
| PCT (ug/L) | 1.9 (0.4, 10.0) | 16.2 (6.0, 72.8) | < 0.001* |
| WBC (109/L) | 13.0 (6.9, 17.2) | 13.2 (8.2, 19.2) | 0.197 |
| PLT (109/L) | 176 (112, 218) | 115 (57, 204) | 0.011* |
| Scr (μmol/L) | 90 (70, 188) | 142 (89, 260) | 0.041* |
| T.Bil (mmol/L) | 12.4 (7.4, 22.9) | 21.0 (11.3, 50.9) | 0.014* |
| ALT (IU/L) | 24 (13, 51) | 37 (25, 87) | 0.259 |
| Lac (mmol/L) | 1.8 (1.2, 2.8) | 3.6 (1.7, 7.6) | < 0.001* |
| OI | 148 (106, 181) | 164 (140, 210) | 0.084 |
| APACHE II score before treatment | 21 (18, 23) | 22 (19, 25) | < 0.001* |
| SOFA score before treatment | 7 (5, 8) | 8 (6, 10) | < 0.001* |
Patient physiological index measurements are presented as median (interquartile). p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. PCT, procalcitonin; WBC, white blood cell; PLT, platelet; Scr, serum creatinine; T.Bil, total bilirubin; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; Lac, lactic acid; OI, oxygen index; APACHE, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment.
