Comparison of TTP in initial blood culture series according to in-hospital mortality and septic shock. (A) Kaplan-Meier tests were plotted against in-hospital mortality. Cumulative probability of time to positivity of in-hospital mortality patients are presented as the green curve, while survival patients are shown in blue. The difference is significant (P = 0.001). (B) Kaplan-Meier tests plotted against septic shock. The green curve represents the cumulative probability of time to positivity of patients with septic shock, and the blue curve represents patients without, the difference being significant (P = 0.001)
