Elevated Admission Base Deficit Is Associated with a Complex Dynamic Network of Systemic Inflammation Which Drives Clinical Trajectories in Blunt Trauma Patients

Figure 6

(a) Network complexity differs between the BD ≥ 4 and BD < 4 subgroups over the first 24 h after injury. The BD ≥ 4 group exhibited a higher network density at 8 h and 16 h after injury which progressively decreased to similar levels of BD < 4 group at 24 h after injury. (b) Arterial BD levels within 24 h after injury. BD levels in both BD ≥ 4 and BD < 4 subgroups mirror the density of their corresponding inflammatory networks.
