It was found that the AUROC values were 0.716 (95% CI 0.564‐0.868, P = .0059) for MCP1 expression, 0.798 (95% CI 0.666‐0.921, P < .0001) for PTX3 expression, 0.501 (95% CI 0.320‐0.683, P = .9904) for Ang1 expression and 0.631 (95% CI 0.464‐0.799, P = .1288) for Ang2 expression in septic shock patients (Figure 2, Table 6). Here, PTX3 is linked to septic shock.
