Correlation analysis of cytokine and chemokine profiles with clinical parameters
(A) Heatmaps showing Spearman correlation coefficients (c.c.) between cytokines and chemokines and clinical measurements for mild, moderate, and severe groups. The first cytokine/chemokine value was used for each patient.
(B) Example scatter plots for strong, severity group-specific correlations between cytokines/chemokines and clinical parameters in mild (green), moderate (blue), or severe (magenta) patients. Correlation coefficients (c.c.) are also shown.
