Figure 3

Incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by quartile of plasma citrulline level. Plasma citrulline levels in each quartile were: 1st quartile 0 to 5.12 uM, 2nd quartile 5.16 to 8.56 uM, 3rd quartile 9.15 to 14.18 uM, 4th quartile 14.35 to 50.07 uM. Patients with the lowest plasma citrulline level (1st quartile) had the highest percentage of patients with ARDS. P = 0.002 for trend across quartiles.
