Compared to children who presented with ≥ 19 h after coma onset, children who presented with ≤ 6 h of coma prior to admission had significantly higher levels of the cytokines IL-1β: 5 pg/mL [1.46–14] vs. 3 [1–7], (p = 0.024) (Fig. 2a), IL-10: 369 pg/mL [129–1030] vs. 180 [77–340], (p = 0.019), (Fig. 2b), and IL-6: 345 pg/mL [102–907] vs. 172 [72–327], (p = 0.029) (Fig. 2c). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
