  1. Characteristics of patient population and results for individual plasma HBP to NA dose correlation over time. Comorbidities are reported as mentioned in the patient’s chart. Infections are community-acquired if not described as hospital-acquired (HAI). Microbiology is shown from blood culture if positive, and if negative, from any other positive culture site. Maximum SOFA and lactate are displayed within 72 h from ICU admission, respectively. Alive or dead is observed up to 90 days from ICU admission. The number of reliable HBP measurements is displayed from ICU admission up to 72 h. Spearman’s R is shown for the individual longitudinal correlation between plasma HBP and NA dose with 72 h together with the p value for the analysis.
