Correlation of TREM-2 expressions and serum D-25 levels	() Total number	() Percentage	() MFI	() Total expression (min-max data transformation)
	0.1241	0.2742	0.1373	0.3064
95% CI	−0.1929–0.4169	−0.01417–0.5204	−0.1790–0.4279	−0.002567–0.562

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