The kinetics of serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels in septic patients at the intensive care unit (ICU). (A) The mean absolute serum levels of MIF in all, deceased, and survived septic patients on day 0 and 4 from admission to the ICU. (B) The mean daily changes of serum MIF levels in deceased and survived patients based on data obtained from both sexes (top), males (middle), and females (bottom). The number of patients (n) is indicated in the figure in each group. *p < 0.05.
