Correlation between FITC-LPS binding to monocytes and LBP serum concentrations.

The scattergram shows the association between log serum LBP concentrations of the severe sepsis and control cohort and the log mean fluorescence units as a measure of FITC-LPS binding to monocytes. The Pearson correlation coefficient and ordinary least squares regression line are supplemented (r = −0.64,P < .001).
