Plasma interleukin-8 is higher in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome and in non-survivors. a Comparison of plasma IL-8 in children with or without PARDS. The group with PARDS included children meeting the criteria for PARDS on the indicated day or any previous day. Plasma IL-8 was significantly higher in patients with PARDS across all days (p < 0.0001 using GEE methods as described in the “Methods” section), but when examining each day only achieved significance on day 2 (p = 0.02). b Comparison of plasma IL-8 in children who died or survived. IL-8 is significantly higher in non-survivors on each day (p < 0.05). Day 0 is the day of intubation. The number inside each bar indicates the number of plasma samples analyzed from the indicated days. IL-8 interleukin-8, PARDS pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome
