Comparison of evaluation moments and groups in relation to systemic inflammation.
| N = 26 | Control group (N = 13) | Intervention group (N = 13) | p time | p group | p TxG | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitalization | After one month | Hospitalization | After one month | ||||
| Log CRP (mg/dl) | 2.91 ± 0.64 | 2.15 ± 0.56 | 2.65 ± 0.54 | 2.48 ± 0.37 | 0.37 | 0.95 | 0.44 |
| logTNF-α (mg/dl) | 0.61 ± 0.14 | 0.66 ± 0.29 | 0.67 ± 0.22 | 0.32 ± 0.10 | 0.60 | 0.58 | 0.07 |
| Log IL-6 (mg/dl) | 1.30 ± 0.61 | 1.10 ± 0.12 | 1.40 ± 0.52 | 0.52 ± 0.74 | 0.30 | 0.99 | 0.34 |
Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Log, transformed into logarithms; CRP, C-reactive protein. TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor alpha; IL-6, interleukin 6; P TxG, p value of the interaction between time and group. p < 0.05, comparison evaluated by the two-way ANOVA test with repeated measures.
