From: Elevated CXCL-8 expression in bronchoalveolar lavage correlates with disease severity in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome resulting from tuberculosis

Figure 5

Correlations between CXCL8 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and patient mortality. BAL CXCL8 levels were correlated with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) (panels A, B & C), Murray (panels D, E & F) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) (panels G, H & I) scores in patients with Tuberculosis (TB) (panels A, D & G), Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) (panels B, E & H) and the combination of both TB and ARDS (panels C, F and I). Data were analysed using Pearson’s correlation of coefficient. A p value of 0.05 or less is considered significant.
