  1. Laboratory and biometric data obtained on admission to Intensive Care comparing patients with body mass index <30 and those with body mass index >30. BMI : Body Mass Index, WCC: white cell count, CRP: C-Reactive protein, Hb: Haemoglobin. HMW Adipo: High Molecular Weight Adiponectin, Total Adipo: Total Adiponectin, ZAG: Zinc-α2-glycoprotein. Parameters are displayed as median, range (IQR), mean ± standard deviation (SD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of means.
