The association between the change in CSF fibrinogen and CSF cytokines. (a) The β coefficients using the change in CSF fibrinogen to predict the change for each cytokine, controlling for the baseline cytokine concentration. (b) The β coefficients for each cytokine additionally adjusted for patient age. Based on Cook's distances, two outliers were excluded for IL-1Ra and IL-8, one outlier was excluded for IL-6 and IL-12p70, and no outliers were excluded for IL-1β and IL-10. Full details of the models are provided in Supplementary Table S3. CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; IL, interleukin.
