CRP and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: The following parameters were associated with decreased overall survival: old age (p = 0.041; HR: 1.01 / 95% CI 1.00–1.03); sepsis (p = 0.005; HR: 1.82 / 95% CI 1.20–2.75); coeliac/mesenteric artery stenosis of 76–99% (p = 0.010; HR: 2.00 / 95% CI 1.17–3.26), COPD (p = 0.002; HR: 1.92/95% CI 1.28–2.87), length of intestine affected by PI > 1 m (p = 0.007; HR: 2.07 / 95% CI 1.25–3.50), elevated CRP-count (p = 0.008; HR: 1.00 / 95% CI 1.00–1.00), elevated serum lactate levels (p = 0.042; HR: 1.00 / 95% CI 1.00–1.05), and decreased platelet count (p < 0.001; HR: 1.00 / 95% CI 1.00–1.01).
