  1. *covariate regression coefficients are adjusted for time; a positive (negative) coefficient is associated with an increasing (lowering) impact of parameter on IL-6 or HMBD1 levels over time
  2. (a) treated as an ordinal variable
  3. (b) square root transform applied to normalize the distribution
  4. (c) log-transform applied to normalize the distribution
