Comparison of cytokeratin measurements in survivors and non-survivors with impaired liver function in the septic group at baseline and at 48 and 120 hours. Concentrations were measured of total cytokeratin-18 (CK-18) and CK-18 fragments (CK-18-F), and the ratio of CK-18-F to total CK-18 was calculated from the sera of survivors (white box) and non-survivors (dark grey box) of the septic group with impaired liver function (bilirubin ≥1.2 mg/dL or 20.5 μmol/L according to Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score) at the time of diagnosis of sepsis (t0), and 48 hours (t48) and 120 hours (t120) later. Data in box plots are given as median, 25th percentile, 75th percentile and the 1.5 interquartile range. Outliers are shown in form of circles (1.5 to 3 interquartile ranges above 75th percentile or below 25th percentile) or rectangles (>3 interquartile ranges above 75th percentile or below 25th percentile).
