From: Albumin rather than C-reactive protein may be valuable in predicting and monitoring the severity and course of acute respiratory distress syndrome in critically ill patients with or at risk for the syndrome after new onset fever

Figure 3

Median and inter quartile range of albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) for the lung injury score (LIS). The LIS categories are inversely associated with albumin (P < 0.001) and directly with CRP (P = 0.04) in generalized estimating equations. no lung injury (LIS ≤1.0), ■ mild acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS (LIS 1.0-2.5), ▲ severe ARDS (LIS >2.5). Numbers refer to numbers of patients.
