Observed and predicted values of clinical outcomes explained by the equation Clinical outcome: 0.867491 (cagA) + 0.0131847 (IL-12/IL-10) + 0.0103503 (IFN-γ/IL-4) that relates virulence factors such as CagA and host immune response defined as Th1/Th2 cytokine ratios. Titers of equation predicted values, obtained by fitting to the equation measured parameters, increase with severity of endoscopy observed outcome. Data are presented as individual points plus median. p<0.05, Mann-Whitney test.
