  1. Linear model was used
  2. Estimates are expressed as regression coefficient (95% confidence interval) for continuous variables (Ln 25(OH)D, Albumin, Ln LL-37 and Age) and as mean difference (95% confidence interval) for categorical variables
  3. Abbreviations:
  4. Ln CRP natural logarithm of the maximum value of serum C-reactive protein
  5. Ln 25(OH)D natural logarithm of serum 25(OH)D concentration
  6. Ln LL-37 natural logarithm of serum LL-37 concentration
  7. Ln WBC natural logarithm of serum maximum white blood cell count
  8. Statistically significant values bolded and in italic
