Results of SSTs. a Levels of baseline cortisol are significantly higher in nonsurvivors. b Levels of baseline DHEAS are significantly higher in survivors. c Baseline DHEAS/cortisol ratios are significantly higher in survivors. d Cortisol increments upon challenge of ACTH are significantly higher in survivors. e DHEAS increments upon challenge of ACTH are significantly higher in survivors. Results expressed as median, error bars representing the interquartile range, in a, b, d, e. Results expressed as mean, error bars representing the standard deviation, in c. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. DHEAS dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
