Individual values of serum phosphate levels at baseline and the third day.
(Comparison was made using a paired sample t test).
Fig 2.
Kaplan–Meier survival curves of 90-day mortality in burn patients stratified by serum phosphate levels.
Fig 3.
Kaplan–Meier survival curves of 90-day mortality in patients surviving more than 3 days based on different trends of plasma phosphate level.
The survival rate was lower in the High → High group versus the Normal → Normal group (P < 0.001); the survival rates were lower in the Normal → High group and High → Normal group than in the Normal → Normal group (P = 0.003; P = 0.035). Other comparisons were not significant (P > 0.0083).
