Correlation network for NfL, GFAP, and tau. The correlation network visualises pairwise correlations between the variables by colouring the edges with the Spearman rank correlation. The deeper the colour, the stronger the correlation. Only variables connected (directly or indirectly) with NfL, GFAP, or tau through absolute correlations > 0.3 are visualised. The spatial arrangement of the variables (nodes) groups them into strongly correlated clusters of variables. Biomarker blood samples were collected on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).
