From: Plasma procalcitonin concentrations predict organ dysfunction and outcome in dogs with sepsis
Illness severity and plasma procalcitonin (PCT) concentrations at presentation are not significantly associated with outcome. Box and whisker plots comparing baseline APPLEfast scores (a) and plasma procalcitonin concentrations (b) between survivors (n = 38) and non-survivors (n = 15). The central lines represent the median, the boundaries of the boxes represent the interquartile range and the whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values. No significant difference was documented by Mann-Whitney U test for APPLEfast (P = 0.071) or PCT concentration (P = 0.185) between the two groups
