  1. Clinical parameters of patients with or without infection were determined and the P-value between these two groups was calculated using Student’s t test (CRP, LBP and SOFA) or Mann–Whitney U-test (IG# and IL 6); P < 0.05*; P < 0.005**; P < 0.0005*** (n = 70). Data are given as mean ± SD or mean score value (SOFA). IG#, immature granulocyte count; CRP, C-reactive protein; LBP, lipopolysaccharide binding protein; IL 6, interleukin-6; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment score.
