Figure 1 Correlation between serum biomarkers and 30-day mortality rate. (A) The highest level of lactate (>4 mmol/L) was correlated with a higher mortality rate. (B) The higher level of troponin (>0.045 ng/mL) was associated with a higher mortality rate. (C) The higher level of NT-proBNP (>8000 pg/mL) was correlated with a higher mortality rate.
