Radar plots and longitudinal trends of aMT6s and cortisol urine excretion in patients who developed septic shock during ICU admission (Group B). a Radar plots of urinary aMT6s excretion mean values (ng) per 4-h intervals upon entry, septic shock and exit and within a 24-h period in patients who developed septic shock during ICU admission (N = 11). The value 0 corresponds to midnight. The blue arrow indicates when urine collection began/ended for all patients. aMT6s = 6-sulfatoxymelatonin. b Longitudinal 24-h profiles of urinary aMT6s excretion mean values per 4-h intervals upon entry, septic shock and exit in patients who developed septic shock during ICU admission. Error bars represent standard deviations (SDs). The value 0 on x axis corresponds to midnight. aMT6s = 6-sulfatoxymelatonin. c Radar plots of urinary cortisol excretion mean values per 4-h intervals upon entry, septic shock and exit and within a 24-h period in patients who developed septic shock during ICU admission. The value 0 corresponds to midnight. The blue arrow indicates when urine collection began/ended for all patients. d Longitudinal 24-h profiles of urinary cortisol excretion mean values per 4-h intervals upon entry, septic shock and exit in patients who developed septic shock during ICU admission. Error bars represent standard deviations (SDs). The value 0 on x axis corresponds to midnight
