Figure 4.
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels in survivors and non-survivors for 28-day mortality in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and septic patients. Lines denote median values, boxes represent 25th to 75th percentiles and whiskers indicate the range. Numbers of samples are indicated in parentheses. The median NGAL (blue), MMP-9 (green) and TIMP-1 (brown) levels were higher in non-survivors than in survivors (all P <0.001).
