Table 4 Diagnostic values of D0 albumin and CRP for maximum Berlin and LIS categories within one week after new onset fever in critically ill patients

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
