Precautions that were undertaken appeared in line with the degree of severity of the epidemic and with public health recommendations.
The statistically significant differences in median CRP levels observed between the three groups of children with different severity of infection were in line with the findings of other studies showing higher CRP levels with higher severity of infection in children [ 31, 37].
In contrast, although cirrhotic patients were not included in the NAFLD group, adiponectin levels decreased with the severity of liver damage in patients with steatosis, in line with the results of a recent meta-analysis [ 13].
The amount of autism research was pretty much in line with the prediction, given its frequency and severity, but both SLI and dyslexia were under-researched.
The positive correlations of elevated CS and ALP levels with increased clinical severity are in line with the findings from previous studies [ 14, 17, 35].
Severity of COPD is depicted in line with the GOLD 2010 classification (Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease [GOLD] Guidelines 2010).
The GMFCS classification alone is not a valid indicator of anything other than motor function abilities, even if the frequency and severity of associated impairments increase in line with higher GMFCS disability levels in group comparisons [ 13, 28, 29, 32].
We demonstrated that in patients with sepsis, serum NGAL levels increase in parallel with the severity of sepsis, severity of illness and severity of inflammation and thus increased levels might not automatically reflect tubular damage.
In line with other reports, the observed histone levels in multiple trauma patients might be related to a higher degree of tissue damage as represented by the injury severity score [ 13].
Therefore, we hypothesized that the level of HH-pathway activation would increase in parallel with the severity of liver damage in NAFLD.
