Fig. 3. Serum cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) levels according to clinical characteristics. (A, B) There was no significant correlation with patient age (p=0.275) and with treatment experience (p=0.188). (C, D), Significantly higher levels of CIRP were measured in patients with positive hair-pull test results (p=0.048, ^*p<0.05) and with acute disease status (p=0.013, ^**p<0.01).
