MMP-9, TIMP-1, and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio in septic patients receiving (a, b, c) vasopressors/inotropes or (d, e, f) mechanical ventilation. Data are presented as median and 95% CI. Linear mixed models—vasopressors/inotropes as a fixed factor: (a) pMMP-9 = 0.291, (b) pTIMP-1 = 0.026, and (c) pMMP-9/TIMP-1 = 0.316; mechanical ventilation as a fixed factor: (c) pMMP-9 = 0.715, (e) pTIMP-1 = 0.688, and (f) pMMP-9/TIMP-1 = 0.871. MMP-9: matrix metalloproteinase-9; TIMP-1: tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1.
