Table 2

Correlations between baseline calreticulin and clinical parameters.

Parameters (Spearman rho) value

APACHE II score0.2000.024
Heart rate0.1820.04
Respiration rate0.2590.003
Lactate0.2910.001
PaO2/FiO2-0.1960.027

Calreticulin levels were positively correlated with the APACHE II score, heart rate, respiration rate, and lactate levels (), but negatively associated with PaO2/FiO2. APACHE II score: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score.
