ELISA Development for Serum Hemeoxygenase-1 and Its Application to Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 5

Correlations between ΔHO-1/D0 HO-1 and the clinical parameters. ΔHO-1/D0 HO-1 is significantly correlated with the APACHE II score. D0 HO-1 = HO-1 concentration measured upon diagnosis. D7 HO-1 = HO-1 concentration measured at 7 days after diagnosis. ΔHO-1 = D7 HO-1 minus D0 HO-1. APACHE, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation; D0, day 0; D7, day 7; HO-1, hemeoxygenase-1; ICU, intensive care unit.
