Serum resistin levels in critically ill patients are associated with inflammation, organ dysfunction and metabolism and may predict survival of non-septic patients

Table 3 Comparison between healthy volunteers and patients from the intensive care unit

	Controls	All ICU patients	Sepsis	Non-sepsis
	n = 60	n = 170	n = 122	n = 48
