Statistical charts of the inflammatory mediators of CBP group and non-CBP group at admission and 3-day of admission. A Compared to 3-day of admission, statistics charts show decreasing of CRP in CBP group, but there was no significant difference (14.35[1.85,23.625], 2.700[1.500,8.968], p = 0.317). There was no difference of CRP in non-CBP group (7.950[3.705,21.475], 7.900[3.050,26.475], p = 1.0). B Compared to 3-day of admission, statistics charts show significantly decreasing of IL-6 in CBP group (0.955[0.423,2.400], 0.120[0.040,0.525], ***p = 0.003). There was no difference of IL-6 in non-CBP group (0.690[0.313,1.325], 0.435[0.123,0.628], p = 0.684). C Compared to 3-day of admission, statistics charts show decreasing of PCT in both in CBP group and non-CBP group, but there was no significant difference (CBP group: 3.400[0.278,20.500], 1.800[0.290,21.775], p = 0.739; non-CBP group: 22.500[5.125,38.750], 9.900[2.825,27.500], p = 0.684).
