Figure 3

PON1 association with the abdomen as a site of infection (a) and the enzyme as a marker of abdominal sepsis (b). Data on panel (a) presented as means with 95% CI and analyzed using the -test for independent samples. Data on panel (b) presented as ROC curves with 95% CI. The diagonal line represents the chance marker with no discriminative power (), and a grey dot represents an optimal cut-off value. AUC: area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
