Beta-2-glycoprotein-1 (B2GPI) levels in different states of inflammation. a The correlation of the B2GPI level with no sepsis, sepsis, and septic shock was assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis and the Mann-Whitney U tests. b The B2GPI level in non-infected and infected patients assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test. c The B2GPI level in non-survivors and survivors assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test. d Development of infection during ICU stay depended on beta-2-glycoprotein-1 (B2GPI, μg/mL). The cohort was divided into three equal tertiles based on the B2GPI level. The relation between the development of infection and the different tertiles was calculated by applying the Kaplan-Meier method. Statistical differences between survival curves were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Highest levels of B2GPI differ significantly from the lowest levels of B2GPI (P = 0.007)
