U-Shape Relationship between Plasma Leucine Level and Mortality in the Intensive Care Unit
Figure 3
Prognostic value of plasma leucine concentration in patients who survived longer than two weeks. (a) The Kaplan-Meier curves for three different groups (for all-cause death). Leucine levels were measured at baseline. (b) The Kaplan-Meier curves for patients with versus ≥109 μM (for all-cause death). Leucine levels were measured at two weeks after admission to the intensive care unit in patients who remained in the intensive care unit.
