Validation assays of proteins in diabetic foot or in burn victims and their potential to discriminate NH from RH (pg/mL).

Proteins	Patients with diabetic foot				Burn victims
	Plasma		Exudate		Exudate
	RH (n = 49)	NH (n = 36)	RH (n = 49)	NH (n = 36)	RH (n = 30)

Data are shown as mean ± SEM, median (interquartile range) of subjects in each group. Differences between the groups were analyzed using ^†Mann-Whitney U test; the others were analyzed using t-tests. ^#P < 0.05 or ^##P < 0.001 versus RH. ^&P < 0.05 or ^&&P < 0.001 versus NH (exudate).
