Boxplot graph depicting the concentration of cell-free mitochondrial DNA in the plasma and epithelial lining fluid (ELF). The concentration of cell-free mitochondrial DNA was measured in the plasma (NADH I (a) and cytochrome c (b) genes) and epithelial lining fluid (NADH I (c) and cytochrome c (d) genes) for COVID-19 ARDS (n = 14), non-COVID-19 ARDS (n = 7), and control patients (n = 7). The Kruskal-Wallis test with a false discovery rate post hoc multiple comparisons correction was used to adjust p values. Correlation between ELF concentrations of NADH I DNA and IL-8 (e) and IL-1β (f). Spearman correlations: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.01 between each cytokine and ELF concentration of NADH I mitochondrial DNA (Pneumochondrie study, 2019–2020)
