Plasma C-reactive protein concentrations in critically ill patients. a Time course of C-reactive protein concentrations in the non-septic group (filled circles) and the septic shock group (filled triangles). Data represent mean and SD. Significant differences between the two groups are indicated (*P < 0.01 using linear mixed effects model). b C-reactive protein concentrations relative to vitamin C concentrations. Baseline (time 0 h) C-reactive protein concentrations were divided around the hypovitaminosis C value of 23 μmol/L. Box plots show medians with 25th and 75th percentiles as boundaries and whiskers as the range. The C-reactive protein concentration was significantly different between the hypovitaminosis C group and > 23 μmol/L group (P < 0.05)
