Multiple regression analyses to evaluate which values of sCD30 and sCD26 account for clinical markers in atopic dermatitis (AD)^*

	Coefficient of determination		Regression coefficient sCD30		Regression coefficient sCD26
	r2	P	r	P	r	P
Serum IgE (U/ml)	0·129	0·0061	0·255	< 0·0001	0·168	0·1307
Serum LDH (U/l)	0·59	0·0005	0·625	< 0·0001	0·263	0·0015
Eosinophil (/μl)	0·532	< 0·0001	0·651	< 0·0001	0·16	0·0659
Soluble CD25 (U/ml)	0·778	< 0·0001	0·861	< 0·0001	0·076	0·5016
Eruption area (%)	0·657	< 0·0001	0·761	< 0·0001	0·11	0·1307
Eruption score	0·345	< 0·0001	0·546	< 0·0001	0·0091	0·3702

^*Multiple regression analyses were carried out with each clinical marker as dependent variable and sCD30 and sCD26 values as independent variables.
