Temporal development of plasma TIMP-1 (ng/ml) in 90-day survivors and 90-day non-survivors.

<p>TIMP-1 plasma concentrations in 90-day survivors (blue) and non-survivors (red) are shown as a function of time. Samples are grouped in time intervals, calculated from the time of injury. A black asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference between groups. A Kruskall-Wallis test was performed for each time group, except time group 12 (1 patient). After using the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, significance was set at <i>P</i><0.003.
