Levels of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and syndecan-4 across multiple groups. a, b Levels of suPAR and syndecan-4 in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia SCAP, patients with non-SCAP, and healthy individuals, respectively. For suPAR, SCAP versus non-SCAP, p < 0.001; non-SCAP versus healthy individuals, p < 0.001. For syndecan-4, SCAP versus healthy individuals, p < 0.001; non-SCAP versus healthy individuals, p < 0.001. c, d Levels of suPAR and syndecan-4 in survivors and non-survivors among patients with SCAP, patients with SCAP who met at least one major criterion (major criteria), and patients with SCAP who met only minor criterion (minor criteria). For suPAR, survivors versus non-survivors, p < 0.001; major criteria versus minor criteria, p = 0.459. For Syndecan-4, survivors versus non-survivors, p = 0.002; major criteria versus minor criteria, p = 0.671. e, f Comparison of suPAR and syndecan-4 in patients with SCAP and non-SCAP for various causative pathogens; p > 0.05 for all comparisons
