Significant correlations of cytokine de novo synthesis capacity of TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in monocytes with MODS score over a time period of 72 hours post trauma. (a) TNFα: r = -0.827, P < 0.0001; (b) IL-1β r = -0.607, P < 0.0001; (c) IL-6 r = -0.514, P < 0.0001; (d) IL-8 r = -0.553, P < 0.0001. The correlation coefficients were calculated using Spearman rank order, n = 13 patients. MODS = multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
