a, b, c: Effectiveness of cytokines, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 measurements as markers of disease severity using Receiver operating curve (ROC); d, e, f: Effectiveness of endothelial activation markers, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin as markers of disease severity using Receiver operating curve (ROC).

<p>Solid straight line represents predictive threshold while solid curves line represents the sensitivity and specificity of the respective cytokine and endothelial activation markers. A threshold of 0.5 was used for this study.
