Fig. 2From: Autotaxin levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid are associated with inflammatory and fibrotic biomarkers and the clinical outcome in patients with acute respiratory distress syndromeCorrelation of serum ATX level with severity of ARDS. The serum ATX level showed a significant negative correlation with the PaO2/FIO2 ratio (A) and a positive correlation with the SOFA score (B) but not with the APACHE II score (C). APACHE, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; ATX, autotaxin; FIO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; PaO2, arterial oxygen tension; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure AssessmentBack to article page
