Table 3.
Correlation analysis of serum levels of IL‐6 and IL‐18 with body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, WBC count, and APACHE II score
| IL‐6 (pg/ml) | IL‐18 (pg/ml) | |
|---|---|---|
| Body temperature | −0.009 | −0.046 |
| Heart rate | 0.551a | 0.211 |
| Respiratory rate | 0.192 | −0.058 |
| WBC count | 0.167 | 0.142 |
| APACHE II score | 0.454b | 0.151 |
WBC, while blood cell; APACHE II, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II.
a
Refers to P < 0.05 for the correlation between serum IL‐6 level and heart rate.
b
Refers to P < 0.05 for the correlation between serum IL‐6 level and APACHE II score.
