Endocan and ECR plasmatic levels at time of ARDS and variations over 24 h in HIP and NHIP ARDS. We found no difference between HIP and NHIP groups for blood concentrations of endocan (a), variations of endocan within 24 h (b), and ECR (c). ECR variation over 24 h in the HIP group was significantly different to that of the NHIP group (d). Box plot shows the median (horizontal line) and IQR (25th–75th percentile) (box). The whiskers show the lowest data within 1.5 IQR of the lower quartile and highest data within 1.5 IQR of the upper quartile. We used the Mann-Whitney test for comparisons of two groups of continuous variables and the chi-square test for comparisons of categorical variables. ARDS: acute respiratory distress syndrome; ECR: endocan cleavage ratio; HIP: hyperinflammatory phenotype; NHIP: non-hyperinflammatory phenotype
