ROC curve for the neutrophil count at 24 h, Inc-SCC, R-Inc-SCC, and SCC at 24 h, plotted against survival after 30 days. The area under the ROC curve values of the neutrophil count at 24 h, Inc-SCC, R-Inc-SCC, and SCC at 24 h are 0.695 (95% CI: 0.55–0.83) (a), 0.63 (95% CI: 0.47–0.78) (b), 0.66 (95% CI: 0.51–0.81) (c), and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.58–0.86) (d), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of SCC at 24 h (cutoff: 6.6 μg/dL) in predicting mortality are 89.5 and 61.9%, respectively (d). Inc-SCC, increase in serum cortisol concentration; ROC, receiver operator characteristic; R-Inc-SCC, rate of increase in serum cortisol concentration; SCC, serum cortisol concentration
