Circle of correlations showing the relative impact of simplified acute physiology score 3 (SAPS3), strong ion gap SIG, strong apparent ion difference (SID a ), albumin and lactate on principal components 1 and 2 (rPC1 and rPC2), which are displayed on the x and y axis, respectively. The projection of the vector representing each variable is proportional to the load on the principal score.
