a The serum IL-9-producing CD4(+) T cells (Th9) percentages, IL-9, and D-lactate levels of patients in sepsis and control group. b The correlations among Th9 percentages, IL-9 levels, and D-lactate levels. IL-9 levels were positively correlated with Th9 percentages on day 1 (R2 =0.416, P < 0.001), day 3 (R2 =0.351, P < 0.001), and day 7 (R2 =0.305, P < 0.001) of admission. IL-9 levels were also positively correlated with D-lactate levels on day 1 (R2 =0.486, P < 0.001), day 3 (R2 =0.443, P < 0.001), and day 7 (R2 =0.337, P < 0.001). Th9 percentages were only positively correlated with D-lactate levels on day 1 (R2 =0.366, P < 0.001). c The serum Th9 percentages, IL-9, and D-lactate levels in survivors and non-survivors. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001
