After adjusting for age, Group C showed significantly lower rates across multiple outcomes compared to Group A: elevated ESR (adjusted RR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.40–0.92), elevated CRP (adjusted RR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.33–0.75), wound colonization (adjusted RR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.47–0.95), clinical infection (adjusted RR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38–0.89), fever (adjusted RR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38–0.89), cellulitis (adjusted RR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38–0.89), deep infection (adjusted RR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.29–0.90), and abscess formation (adjusted RR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.17–0.81). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is abscess.
