Baseline Data.

<p>UTI: urinary tract infection; CRP: C-reactive protein; WBC: white blood cells; NIHSS: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; BP: blood pressure; IQR: interquartile range (log transformed), AH: arterial hypertension; PAD: peripheral artery disease; CHD: coronary heart disease; Hyperchol: Hypercholestrolemia.</p

OR/AUC to predict infections (measurements on admission (day 0)).

<p>OR referred to an increment to predict values from the 1^st to the 3^th interquartile range (IQR).

Odds ratios/AUC to predict infections associated with nearest predictor measurements*.

<p>OR referred to an increment to predict values from the 1^st to the 3^th interquartile range (IQR).

OR to predict infections associated with nearest predictor measurements adjusted for age, NIHSS and CI as well as supra- or infratentorial infarct localization.

<p>PCT: procalcitonin; CRP: C-reactive protein; WBC: white blood cells; Mcyt: monocytes.</p

Comparison of batches with best predictors of specific type of infection alone.

<p>WBC: white blood cells; CRP: C-reactive protein; PCT: procalcitonin. AUC: Area under the curve to predict infection using the combined model of all predictors.g.</p>*<p>adjusted for all predictors in the respective model.</p>**<p>Wald-p: refers to the comparison of the combined model with the model of the strongest predictor, alone which always was WBC.</p

Cox regression analysis for mortality after 90 days for all patients (n = 441).

<p>CI =  confidence interval; CRP =  C-reactive protein; NIHSS =  National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; AMI =  acute myocardial infarction.</p

Relationship of sex hormones, inflammatory markers and estimates of body fluid with copeptin throughout the menstrual cycle.

<p>Beta-coefficient quantifies the relationship between the changes of the respective parameters with changes in copeptin concentrations (pmol/L) throughout the menstrual cycle. Copeptin concentrations were log-transformed.</p><p>BIA: bio impedance analysis.</p><p>PMS: Premenstrual symptoms score.</p

Changes of estradiol during the menstrual cycle.

<p>All 15 participants are shown (1–15). EFP: early follicular phase. MFP: midfollicular phase. LFP: late follicular phase. LH: surge of luteinizing hormone. ELP: early luteal phase. MLP: midluteal phase. LLP: late luteal phase.</p
