CRP and abscess: A statistically significant association was observed between abscess localization and patient age (ρ = 0.211, p = 0.001), the occurrence of dysphagia (ρ = 0.376, p < 0.0001), and trismus (ρ = 0.282, p < 0.0001), complications (ρ = 0.383, p < 0.0001), AISI score (ρ = 0.258, p = 0.0001), and CRP levels (ρ = 0.365, p < 0.0001).
