Table 2. Final logistic regression model for association of plasma cytokines and covariates with short-duration versus long-duration ME/CFS.
Final model includes cytokines meeting LASSO and/or PCA/PLS criteria (see Materials and Methods and Supplementary Materials and Methods). Bold text indicates P values <0.05.
