Differential Cytokine Expression Profiles in the CSF Among ICH Patients: A Comparison between Hydrocephalic and Non-hydrocephalic Subjects. (A) IL-6 concentrations in the CSF of hydrocephalic ICH patients were significantly elevated (P < 0.0001). (B) IL-8 levels were augmented (P < 0.05). (C) IL-10 (P < 0.001) and (D) TNF-α (P < 0.001) levels were also observed to be higher in patients with hydrocephalus relative to their non-hydrocephalic counterparts. Note: The original result values have been transformed to their square root equivalents to facilitate a more distinct and three-dimensional portrayal of data distribution, denoted in sqrt pg/ml. The dataset is delineated as M (P25, P75). Annotations: * for P < 0.05, *** for P < 0.001, **** for P < 0.0001. The hydrocephalus cohort comprised n = 16; whereas the non-hydrocephalic cohort consisted of n = 84
