Table 1.
Values (median and quartiles [25-75%]) of total leukocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts (cells/mm3) and IL-8 levels (pg/mL) at 48 hours and 28 days in the control, fibrin and cyanoacrylate groups.
| Control | Fibrin | Cyanoacrylate | p value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leukocytes | 48 h | 8,800 (7,300 – 10,500) | 9,100 (7,800 – 9,500) | 6,800 (6,300 – 8,200) | 0.138 |
| 28 d | 8,100 (6,100 – 9,400) | 7,400 (7,000 – 8,800) | 6,850 (6,700-7,100) | 0.214 | |
| Neutrophils | 48 h | 4,168 (1,339 – 6,997) | 3,491 (2,380 – 4,602) | 3,664 (1,599 – 4,775) | 0.745 |
| 28 d | 3,413 (2,040 – 4,050) | 3,300 (2,170-4,361) | 3,146 (1,800 – 3,645) | 0.846 | |
| Lymphocytes | 48 h | 3,868 (3,504 – 4,800) | 4,940 (3,666 – 5,096) | 5.126 (4.284 – 6.120) | 0.085 |
| 28 d | 4,087 (3,888-4,753) | 3,784 (3,774-4,183) | 3,070 (3,932-4,761) | 0.450 | |
| IL-8 | 48 h | 38.6 (38.5-49.6) | 75.3 (67.3-86.0) | 72.2 (64.5-83.5) | <0.010 |
| 28 d | 69.1 (32.3-72.9) | 78.4 (49.8-80.3) | 67.6 (28.3-79.1) | 0.297 |
There was a significant difference in the IL-8 level between the control and treatment groups at 48 hours but not at 28 days (p<0.010). No difference was found in the leukocyte, neutrophil or lymphocyte count.
