Using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis, IL-8/CXCL8 levels showed a significant positive correlation with fibrinogen (r = 0.403, p = 0.011), while correlations with ESR (r = 0.397, p = 0.055) and CRP (r = 0.288, p = 0.052) did not reach statistical significance, even if a trend toward significance was observed (see Table 3 ).
