Figure Lengend Snippet: sTREM-1 values in infections with different pathogens. ( A ) Blood culture negative patients ( n = 351, green bars) had statistically significant lower sTREM-1 plasma concentrations at V1 in comparison to patients with a bacterial or fungal growth in blood culture ( n = 149, red bars). ( B ) sTREM-1 plasma concentrations among more specified different BC results at V1. Gram positive cocci are shown in light purple bars ( n = 64), gram-negative Enterobacteria and Non-fermenters in cyan and dark green bars ( n = 64, n = 4, respectively), fungi in orange bars ( n = 6), multiple in brown bars ( n = 11) and blood culture negative in grey bars ( n = 351). Horizontal line within the box marks the median, boxes depict the IQR, and whiskers indicate the total range. Group comparisons for V1 and V3 were performed by Kruskal-Wallis test. Group comparisons for individual comparisons were performed by two sided Mann–Whitney U-test. *with p - value ≤ 0.05. Abbreviations: sTREM-1: soluble Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1
Article Snippet: For predicting need for RRT the best predictive performance was achieved using sTREM-1 plasma concentrations V1 with an AUC of 0.81 (95%CI 0.77–0.88, p < 0.001), outperforming the established functional marker creatinine (AUC 0.73; 95%CI 0.68–0.78, p < 0.001) and the newly described kidney damage marker soluble form of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) (AUC 0.68; 95%CI 0.63–0.73, p < 0.001) (Suppl.
