Concentration Kinetics of Serum MMP-9 and TIMP-1 after Blunt Multiple Injuries in the Early Posttraumatic Period
Figure 5
Patients after major trauma (ISS > 33) and patients after moderate injury (ISS ≤ 33) showed nearly equal mean serum levels of TIMP-1 in the early posttraumatic period over 72 hours. There were no significant differences found between these two groups. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney Rank Sum test and presented by mean ± standard error of the mean.
