In this model including pre-stroke FI, higher concentrations of TCC remained significantly associated with a higher risk of being in the “Low and declining” group compared to the “High and increasing” group, the significances of IL-6 and PAr were slightly attenuated, but for MIP-1α, neopterin, and QA, the RRRs and significances were considerably attenuated (Supplementary Tables 4–5). Here, IL6 is linked to Stroke.
