Serum biomarkers of DM-IP on admission in patients dead due to IP and those still alive.

Laboratory markers are presented as the median (interquartile range). DM, dermatomyositis; IP, interstitial pneumonia; Dead, dead due to IP; MDA5, anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5; Ab, antibody; ARS, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase; CK, creatine kinase; LD, lactate dehydrogenase; CRP, C-reactive protein; IL–6, interleukin 6. The P-values were estimated using Fisher’s exact test or Mann-Whitney U-test.*P an = 3.bn = 11.Serum biomarkers of DM-IP on admission in patients dead due to IP and those still alive.
