Table 3 Multivariate logistic regression of HDL-S1P, SA-S1P, S1P carrier proteins (HDL and SA), and various other inflammatory markers as predictors for sepsis severity defined as septic shock or SOFA score ≥ 8

From: Loss of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in septic shock is predominantly caused by decreased levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL)
