Epidemiological (gender, age, duration of hospital stay), clinical (systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), ejection fraction (EF), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT)), and laboratory (white blood cells (WBC) and platelet (Plt) counts, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, Pct, urea, creatinine, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponin (Tn)) parameters were examined. Here, NPPB is linked to Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
