| Platelet count (per 1/mm3) | 0.12 | 0.005 |
| Hemoglobin (per 1 g/dL) | 0.10 | 0.03 |
| Age (per year) | −0.18 | 0.001 |
| MMP-7 (mg/dL) | −0.07 | 0.17 |
| Sdc-1 (mg/dL) | −0.12 | 0.01 |
| VCAM-1 (mg/dL) | 0.02 | 0.71 |
Abbreviations: MMP-7, matrix metalloproteinase-7; Sdc-1, Syndecan-1; and VCAM-1, vascular cell adhesion protein 1. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient is indicated by ρ. Significant correlations are marked in bold.
