Bivariate analysis comparing peak MPV/PTC and inflammatory cytokines at T4. a Bivariate analysis demonstrated that peak MPV/PTC was positively correlated with TNF-α (r = 0.826, P = 0.011). b Bivariate analysis demonstrated that peak MPV/PTC was positively correlated with IL-6 (r = 0.806, P = 0.016)
