Plasma levels of glycocalyx components and ROC curves for the prediction of severe influenza A (H1N1). Plasma SDC-1 (a), HA (b), and HS (c) levels were significantly elevated in septic shock patients compared with those in sepsis patients. ROC curves (d) for the prediction of septic shock. AUC (95% confidence interval). The red rulers in figures A and B represent the median with range. The red rulers in figure C represent the mean with SD. Three-group comparisons of frequencies were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis test. SDC-1, syndecan-1; HS, heparan sulfate; HA, hyaluronan.
