The plasma levels of TF on the 1st, 3rd, 7th day of sepsis-induced ARDS patients. On the day of admission, the TF plasma levels in non-survivors of ARDS patients were significantly elevated compared with those in survivors of ARDS patients (P = 0.00013). The TF levels in ARDS survivor were declined obviously on the 3rd and 7th day; however, the TF values in the non-survivors were increased continually on the 3rd and 7th day
