To check whether the HBOT treatment has an effect on the range of biomarkers, the investigators will analyze the means and variances of the biomarkers in the NSTI group and the two control groups, the orthopaedic patients and the sepsis patients. Non-parametric data will be log-transformed and will be presented as median values with IQR. Wilcoxon rank sum tests will be used for group comparisons. Fisher's exact test will be used for categorical data. Correlation analysis will be performed using Spearman rank correlation or Pearson correlation. To assess the quality of suPAR as a predictor of health outcomes, a model selection exercise will be conducted with various types of regression models. The type of regression will vary with the type of health-outcome, with suPAR as the predictor in all cases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis will be applied to determine suPARs accuracy as a marker of severity and mortality in patients with NSTI. The investigators will construct Kaplan-Meier curves for survival data. Statistically significant results are when p<0.05.
