Correlation of TREM-1 expression and vitamin D-25 levels	() Total number of TREM-1 positive cells	() Percentage of TREM-1 positive cells	() MFI	() Total expression; (min-max data transformation)
	0.05044	0.1351	0.09574	0.2347
95% CI	−0.2624–0.3537	−0.1723–0.4185	−0.2195–0.3929	−0.0798–0.5067

MFI: mean fluorescence intensity, Total expression: total expression as the sum of variables after min-max data normalization; Spearman’s correlation, Pearson’s correlation.
