MLKL and Sepsis: A significant increase in the mean fold-change in intracellular levels of MLKL in the C19wSepsis cohort compared to that in healthy controls was observed (> 9-fold increase, **p=0.001), while the other two cohorts, namely the C19NoSepsis and Sepsis Alone cohorts, showed comparable and no significant difference in the intracellular levels of MLKL when compared to that in healthy controls (p>0.05) (Figure 7C; Table 3).
