Maximum body temperature during ICU stay and survival of patients with and without
sepsis. This figure shows Kaplan-Meier estimates for the probability of survival, which
at 28 days was greater in non-septic patients with MAXICU 38.5°C to 39.4°C and ≥ 39.5°C than those with 36.5°C to 37.4°C. In septic patients,
there were no significant differences of provability of survival in each category
compared with patients of MAXICU with 36.5°C to 37.4°C. *, significantly different probability of survival at 28 days
after ICU admission than patients with 36.5°C to 37.4°C.
