From: Altered molecular specificity of surfactant phosphatidycholine synthesis in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

Figure 7

Fractional synthetic rate (FSR) of phosphatidylcholine enrichment in BALF samples from patients with ARDS. Results were calculated as the initial gradient of enrichment divided by the plateau enrichment expressed as a percentage. While there was a three-fold range in values, there was no significant difference for those who survived (mean = 1.64 h-1) and those patients who died (mean = 1.40 h-1, P = 0.36).
