Immunohistochemistry (IHC) scoring results.
| Gene name | Mean score (patients) | Mean score (controls) | P-value | Effect size (Cohen’s d) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IL1B | 3.78 | 1.42 | 0.002 | 1.34 |
| CCL17 | 4.12 | 1.58 | 0.001 | 1.45 |
| POSTN | 3.45 | 1.33 | 0.004 | 1.28 |
| TNF | 3.22 | 1.56 | 0.005 | 1.15 |
| MUC5AC | 4.33 | 1.47 | 0.001 | 1.52 |
| ALOX5 | 3.68 | 1.65 | 0.003 | 1.22 |
| IFNG | 1.28 | 2.98 | 0.006 | −1.05 |
| FOXP3 | 1.42 | 3.22 | 0.004 | −1.12 |
| STAT4 | 1.12 | 3.11 | 0.003 | −1.25 |
| CXCL9 | 1.35 | 3.45 | 0.002 | −1.38 |
Independent samples t-tests were used to evaluate significant differences between the patient and control groups, and Cohen’s d was calculated to assess the effect size. Significance was determined using P-values.
