Host response plasma biomarkers in patients with community-acquired pneumonia with direct or delayed admission to the intensive care unit. Plasma biomarkers were measured on intensive care unit admission. Data are expressed as box-and-whisker plots depicting the median with the lower and upper quartiles. Upper and lower whiskers are defined as measurements that are within 1.5 times the interquartile range of the lowest and highest quartile. Dotted lines indicate median values obtained in 27 healthy subjects. APTT activated partial thromboplastin time, CRP C-reactive protein, ICAM intercellular adhesion molecule, IL interleukin, MMP matrix metalloproteinase, PT prothrombin time. Values in patients were all significantly different from those in healthy controls. * P < .05 (adjusted for multiple testing with the Benjamini–Hochberg false discovery rate approach)
