In addition, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the interleukin-17A concentrations of the multiple trauma patients at time point 6 h with an r = 0.7341 (p value = 0.010), 24 h with an r = 0.6478 (p value = 0.0292) and 48 h with an r = 0.6262 (p value = 0.0363) and the corresponding SIRS score on day 4. The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
