From: Evidence of a distinct peripheral inflammatory profile in sport-related concussion
Correlation between inflammatory profiles and days to medical clearance. Interferon (IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin (IL)-8, eotaxin, interferon gamma-induced protein (IP)-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, MCP-4, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, MIP-1β, and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC). Plots show the correlation between biomarkers measured in the subacute period after injury and days to recovery in a athletes with a sport-related concussion (SRC) and b athletes with a musculoskeletal (MSK) injury, by partial least squares (PLS) analysis. Bars represent biomarker loadings and the standard error derived from bootstrapped resampling (5000 samples). Red bars = significant correlation with days to recovery at a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05
