However, the area under the curve (AUC) for CRP was higher than for the other features (Figure 4A,E).For the prediction of intubation and ARDS, the AUCs of neutrophils on day 5 were 0.951 and 0.974 compared to 0.899 and 0.929 for CRP, respectively (Figure 4B,C,E). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
