Influence of Body Mass Index on Inflammatory Profile at Admission in Critically Ill Septic Patients

Table 3

Results for the additional model built for EGF, VEGF, IL4, IL5, and IL13. This model included SAPS 3 score, BMI, gender, pulmonary source, and presence of diabetes. Estimates (SE) values are as follows: 163.75 (67.80); ^†150.95 (69.41); ^‡−20.23 (7.00).
