  1. Diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for infection was calculated from the sensitivities and specificities for clinical parameters. DOR [sensitivity% / specificity%] are given in the table for each period. IG#, immature granulocyte count; CRP, C-reactive protein; LBP, lipopolysaccharide binding protein; IL-6, interleukin-6; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment.
