Statistical relation between variables.

Variables	value	Relation	Formula in case of relation
S100A8 versus AST	0.034	Negative	S100A8 = (0.059 * AST) − 0.808
S100A8 versus CRP	0.008	Positive	S100A8 = (0.891 * CRP) + 3.699
S100A9 versus CRP	0.005	Positive	S100A9 = (0.297 * CRP) + 1.634
S100A8/A9 versus NAI	0.050	Positive	S100A8/A9 = (14.105 * NAI) + 162.74

The statistical correlation between values was performed using univariate linear regression. S100A8 is negatively correlated with AST (S100A8 = (0.059 * AST) − 0.808) and positively correlated with CRP (S100A8 = (0.891 * CRP) + 3.699). S100A9 is positively correlated with CRP (S100A9 = (0.297 * CRP) + 1.634). S100A8/A9 is positively correlated with NAI (S100A8/A9 = (14.105 * NAI) + 162.74). Statistical relation exists if P value is less than 0.005 ( error = 5%).
