Maternal and Cord Serum Cytokine Changes with Continuous and Intermittent Labor Epidural Analgesia: A Randomized Study
Figure 3
Box plots of cord serum cytokines in the four groups studied. IL-6: interleukin-6, IL-1β: interleukin-1β, IL-8: interleukin-8, GM-CSF: granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-α. IL:ILEA group. CL: CLEA group. NF: afebrile group. F: febrile group. There were no significant CLEA versus ILEA or F versus NF differences in any cytokine.
