Correlations between the CIRP level and the levels of other biomarkers.

<p>The correlations of the plasma CIRP level with the APACHE II score; the SOFA score; the serum lactate, creatinine, and procalcitonin (PCT) levels; the white blood cell (WBC) count; and the neutrophil ratio (N%) were determined in the 69 patients with sepsis (Spearman rank analysis). <i>r</i> represents Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and a <i>p-</i>value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
