In adjusted analyses of predictors of inflammatory cytokines, models were controlled for gender, hemoglobin, and ferritin.
Next, single-pollutant models for each moving average were used to evaluate ambient PM2.5 as a potential predictor of each inflammatory marker.
High adiposity was the strongest independent predictor of the inflammatory markers, accounting for 17 28% of the variance in CRP, uric acid, ALT, and GGT, not dissimilar to the result seen for CRP in other adolescent studies (20).
We aimed to identify predictors of sputum inflammatory phenotypes according to easily available clinical characteristics.
Lastly, halogenation damage products are emerging as better predictors of chronic inflammatory damage than previously studied DNA or RNA adducts.
Recommendation 9. Predictors of persistent inflammatory arthritis should be documented and include disease duration of ≥6 weeks, morning stiffness >30 min, functional impairment, involvement of small joints and/or knee, involvement of ≥3 joints, ACPA and/or RF positivity and presence of radiographic erosion.
We believe that this type of polymorphic cutaneous eruption may be a predictor of severe systemic inflammatory disease like in our case, and could be associated with activation of macrophages and natural killer cells in addition with increased production of IL-2, interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α.
In the present study, using two different approaches, delayed initiation of adequate antibiotic therapy was an independent predictor of impairment in inflammatory response.
In recent literature, a strong emphasis has been placed on an elevated CRP level as an important predictor of clinically apparent inflammatory infectious disorders based on cross-sectional analyses.
Abdominal fat accumulation may be a predictor of a pro-inflammatory state [ 7– 9], and recent data have demonstrated overlapping pathways between bone biology and inflammatory processes [ 10– 10].
