  1. Mann-Whitney U-test was carried out to compare results between GP and GN group. IQR, interquartile range; GP, Gram-Positive; GN, Gram-Negative; PCT, procalcitonin; CRP, C-reactive protein; WBC, white blood cell count; TP, total protein; ALB, albumin protein; PLT, platelet count; RDW, red blood cell distribution width; NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio
