From: Argininemia and plasma arginine bioavailability – predictive factors of mortality in the severe trauma patients?

Fig. 4

Probability of in-hospital mortality in critical trauma patients (n = 23) according the plasma arginine bioavailability (PAB) at the moment of the admission in the intensive care unit, calculated by the logistic regression model. Mortality was inversely and significantly related with PAB: 61.8 ± 8.8 % (95 % CI 50.8–72.7) when PAB inferior to 41 %, 21.3 ± 11.5 % (95 % CI 14.4–28.3) between 41 and 81 % and 2.8 ± 1.9 % (95 % CI 1.9–8.3) when PAB superior to 81 % (P = 0.0001)
