| Markers and cytokines | miR-143 | |
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
| P value | Correlation coefficient (r) | |
| NIHSS score | 0.008 | 0.203 |
| CRP | < 0.001 | 0.379 |
| ESR | < 0.001 | 0.307 |
| TNF-α | < 0.001 | 0.361 |
| IL-1β | 0.001 | 0.256 |
| IL-6 | 0.003 | 0.230 |
| IL-8 | < 0.001 | 0.275 |
| IL-17 | 0.002 | 0.233 |
| IL-22 | < 0.001 | 0.309 |
Correlation analysis was determined by Spearman’s rank correlation test. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. CRP, C-reactive protein; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α; IL, interleukin.
