CRP and infection: A multivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between infection and high levels of MVP (r = 0.12, p < 0.0001, cutoff = 395), IL-6 (r = 0.23, p < 0.0001, cutoff = 395), Neu (r = 0.14, p < 0.0001, cutoff = 9.7 k), and CRP (r = 0.18, p < 0.001, cutoff = 0.9), whereas MVP was not significantly associated with hBD-1 (r = 0.023, p = 0.086, cutoff = 6234) or hBD-2 (r = 0.028, p = 0.058, cutoff = 209).
