GPT and Pleural effusion: Based on univariate analysis (Table 4), decreased hemoglobin (P = 0.003), PLT (P = 0.001), and albumin (P < 0.001), as well as pleural effusion (P = 0.018) and ARDS (P < 0.001) were correlated with septic shock; female sex, decreased hemoglobin (P = 0.011), PLT (P = 0.003), albumin (P < 0.001), increased ALT (P = 0.020), and pleural effusion (P = 0.004) and ARDS (P < 0.001) were correlated with ICU admission; and decreased hemoglobin (P = 0.009), PLT (P = 0.003), albumin (P < 0.001),and increased TBIL, creatinine (P = 0.011) and ARDS (P < 0.001)were correlated with mortality in PLA patients.
