The 28-day in-hospital mortality rates in septic patients with high (> 62%) and low (< 62%) ΔPPI peak values in septic shock (Panel A) and sepsis without shock (Panel B). Septic shock patients N = 70. Sepsis without shock patients N = 156. The numbers above bars are deaths/N of the respective group. (A) * Significant difference between groups p = 0.01 using the Fisher’s test. (B) No significant difference between groups was observed for the sepsis without shock group p = 0.73. ΔPPI peak = variation of the peripheral perfusion index peak.
