Workflow of enrollment. In total, 116 septic patients with CIP and 59 patients without CIP were included. CIP, critical illness polyneuropathy.

Survival analysis was conducted before and after PSMA. A. Survival analysis before PSMA; the 28-day mortality was higher in the CIP group than in the non-CIP group (P = 0.02). B. Survival analysis after PSMA; no significant difference was found between the CIP and non-CIP groups (P = 0.4). CIP, critical illness polyneuropathy; PSMA, propensity score matching analysis.

ROC analysis of three indicators and their combined mode used in the diagnosis of CIP. The AUCs of IL1, TNF-α, WBC, and IL1+ TNFa + WBC, were 0.878, 0.867, 0.843, and 0.926. ROC, receiver operating characteristic; AUC, area under curve; CIP, critical illness polyneuropathy; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; WBC, white blood cell.
