From: Effect of cytomegalovirus reactivation on the time course of systemic host response biomarkers in previously immunocompetent critically ill patients with sepsis: a matched cohort study

Fig. 2

Symmetric percentage differences for time trends of host response biomarkers by cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation status (primary comparison). Levels (in picograms per milliliter) of pro-inflammatory (a–e) and anti-inflammatory biomarkers (f–g) were natural log-transformed, and symmetric percentage differences were calculated; ∆ % = (ln (value follow-up measurement) – ln(value at t = −2))*100. This measure reflects the relative difference from baseline up to the time point of interest. Results are presented as median percentage difference and Q1–Q3. Loss to follow-up (death or intensive care unit (ICU) discharge) decreased the sample size with a minimum of 11 patients per group after 10 days
