Multiple linear regression analysis for the HAMD.

Parameters	B	SEM	P-value	VIF
IL-6	0.097	0.033	0.004	1.764
IL-17	1.023	0.066	<0.001	1.760
CRP	−0.060	0.129	0.643	1.039

Note: R² = 0.878. SEM = standard error of mean; VIF = variance inflation factor; IL, interleukin; HAMD, Hamilton rating scale for depression; P < 0.01.
