The Clinical Significance of Increased Serum Proinflammatory Cytokines, C-Reactive Protein, and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Table 4

Bonferroni’s post hoc test for pairwise comparisons among the four groups based on their HS-PGA scores.

Group	IL-6	sTNF-RII	CRP	ESR
Healthy controls versus low inflammatory activity
Healthy controls versus moderate inflammatory activity
Healthy controls versus high inflammatory activity
Low inflammatory activity versus moderate inflammatory activity
Low inflammatory activity versus high inflammatory activity
Moderate inflammatory activity versus high inflammatory activity

HS-PGA: Hidradenitis Suppurativa-Physician Global Assessment; IL: interleukin; sTNF-RII: soluble TNF receptor II; CRP: C-reactive protein; ESR: level erythrocyte sedimentation rate. .
