Trajectories of C-reactive protein and plasma albumin levels for three patients. Trajectories of levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in left column and plasma albumin (PA) in right column for three individual patients (designated patient 101, 127, and 170, using encrypted identification numbers). Date of diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is designated day 0 (D0) on the x-axis (with a solid vertical blue line) and all other days on the x-axis are depicted in relation to D0. The right-most solid vertical black line shows day of death. In between D0 and date of death, solid vertical green lines show day of diagnosis of a bacteraemic episode and the dashed blue line shows day of relapse of AML. All trajectories exclude specimens retrieved > 365 days before D0. For PA, the horizontal line of 35 g/L shows the threshold between normoalbuminemia (≥35 g/L) and hypoalbuminemia (< 35 g/L)
