Death hazard ratios in cox-proportional hazards models. a Hazard ratios for severity scores, absolute values of peripheral blood cell count and T helper population. Significant risk factors are in red; Factors without significance are in blue; Significant protective factors are in green. b Hazard ratios for severity scores, alterations of peripheral blood cell count and T helper population within study period. Significant risk factors are in red; Factors without significance are in blue; Significant protective factors are in green. APACHE is for acute physiology and chronic health evaluation; SOFA is for sequential organ failure assessment; WBC is for white blood count; ALC is for absolute lymphocyte count; ΔTh2/Th1 D7-3 is change of Th2/Th1 from D7 to D3; ΔTh2/Th1 D7-3 is change of Th2/Th1 from D7 to D3. Significant associations with p < 0.05 are in bold
