Differences in LDN counts between controls and critically ill patients (treated at ICU). FACS images showing the gating strategy employed to identify low-density neutrophils (LDNs, also called immature neutrophils), for representative control (A) and ICU patient (B) counted per 10,000 FACS events. PBMCs were gated for size and granularity, LDNs were identified as CD15+ (APC) and CD66b+ (FITC). C Age, age2, and smoking adjusted comparison of the numbers of LDNs in PBMCs between critically ill patients (ICU, n=135), milder patients (n=11), and healthy controls (n=17). Points show medians; thick and thin horizontal bars show 80% and 95% HDI. P-values are shown after MVT adjustment
