Fisher exact test was used to calculate P values for binary data.

Mann-Whitney test was used to calculate P values for continuous data.

Log-rank test was used to calculate P values for time-to-event data.

Patients were stratified as being at high risk if they had sCb-9 level > the upper limit of normal and proteinuria > 2 mg/mg or either elevated sC5b-9 level or proteinuria and multiorgan dysfunction.

Treatment of eculizumab vs supportive care was at the discretion of the attending provider.

AMS, altered mental status; Cr, creatinine; DAH, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage; ECMO, extra corporal membrane oxygenation; ggt, continuous medication; HTN, hypertension; PRES, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; VOD, veno-occlusive disease.

The bolded values are statistically significant.

Not mutually exclusive. A given patient could have more than 1 type of organ dysfunction or concurrent morbidity.

n = 17 eculizumab-treated and n = 26 supportive care patients were in the ICU.
