Angiopoietin-2 Levels as Predictors of Outcome in Mechanically Ventilated Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 1

The effect of lung injury score and concentrations of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in epithelial lining fluid (ELF), of circulating endocan, and of circulating protein C on the number of days without organ failure other than ARDS. Survival curves are censored for mortality. The values of the log-rank test and the respective p values are shown.

(a) Lung injury score

(b) ELF Ang-2

(c) Plasma endocan

(d) Plasma protein C
