Associations between the non-HDLc/HDLc ratio and 28-day mortality in all patients with sepsis. A threshold, nonlinear association between the non-HDLc/HDLc ratio and 28-day mortality was found in a generalized additive model (GAM). Solid rad line represents the smooth curve fit between variables. Blue bands represent the 95% of confidence interval from the fit. Adjusted for age (years), sex, weight, heart rate, lactate level, Apache IV score, SOFA score, septic shock and site of infection.
