We collected blood samples from patients within 12 to 24 h of their admission to the intensive care unit using EDTA as the anticoagulant. Plasma was separated from the blood samples. We employed the human Adiponectin DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D Systems; Wiesbaden, Nordenstadt, Germany) following the manufacturer’s instructions, with a plasma dilution of 1:5000 for analysis. The human IL-6 DuoSet ELISA kit from R&D Systems was used for IL-6 analysis, and plasma was 2-fold diluted.
