Clinical and Biological Predictors of Plasma Levels of Soluble RAGE in Critically Ill Patients: Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Multicenter Observational Study

Figure 1

Spearman rho coefficients of the correlation between quantitative variables and plasma sRAGE at ICU admission. Dark bars represent positive correlations; grey bars represent negative correlations. The body mass index (BMI) is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. LIPS: lung injury prediction score; SAPS II: simplified acute physiology score II; MAP: mean arterial pressure; GCS: Glasgow coma scale; Vt: tidal volume; PEEP: positive end-expiratory pressure; Pplat: inspiratory plateau pressure; FiO₂: fraction of inspired oxygen; PaO₂: arterial partial pressure of oxygen; PaCO₂: arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; P/F ratio: PaO₂/FiO₂; CRP: C-reactive protein; PINI: prognostic nutritional and inflammatory index; ICU: intensive care unit; sRAGE: soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products.
