ROC curves for the use of plasma mt-DNA, and H-FBAP concentrations to predict 15-day mortality. Plasma mt-DNA had better predictive value (AUC, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.78 to 0.99) than did plasma H-FBAP (AUC, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.93). The best cut-off value of plasma mt-DNA at admission was 3,380 GE/ml (sensitivity, 94.4%; specificity, 68.4%). The best cut-off value of plasma H-FBAP was 6.8 ng/ml (sensitivity, 88.9%; specificity, 85.7%).
