| | AIS + D (n = 8) | mild AIS (n = 29) | p | severe AIS (n = 6) | p |
|---|
IL-6 (pg/mL) | 11.5 (9.8–18.0) | 0 (0–6.0) | 0.009 | 0 (0–0) | 0.012 |
CRP (mg/L) | 19.8 (13.2–41.8) | 3.0 (1.0–10.0) | 0.004 | 4.3 (3.6–5.0) | 0.033 |
- Note: Laboratory values are presented as median and range between 25th percentile and 75th percentile values, with between group comparisons between AIS + D and mild AIS or severe AIS controls performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The mild AIS control group was comprised of AIS patients with NIHSS < 10; the severe AIS control group was comprised of AIS patients with NIHSS ≥10. Mean NIHSS in the severe AIS group was 12.3, similar to the mean NIHSS in the AIS + D group (11.9, Table 1)
