aMultivariate model included age, gender, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II score, log IL-8, log intercellular adhesion molecule 1, log thrombomodulin, log protein C and log plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 to predict the outcome of mortality. Predictor variables not presented in the table showed P > 0.3.
