From: Hyaluronic acid is associated with organ dysfunction in acute respiratory distress syndrome
Compartmentalized hyaluronic acid levels are differentially associated with measures of local and systemic organ injury. Elevated alveolar levels of hyaluronic acid are associated with lung injury score (LIS) (a) but not sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score (b), while circulating levels are associated with both (c, d). [HA], concentration of hyaluronic acid. β values represent a change in units of either LIS (a, b) or SOFA (c, d) score per tenfold increase in [HA]. Solid lines represent regression lines determined via linear regression analyses, while hashed lines represent the 95% confidence interval of the regression line
