Biomarker Analysis in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections: Associations with Demographics and Clinical Outcomes
ESR was significantly associated with rhinitis diagnosis, and IgE and ESR were predictive of otitis in multivariate models. However, many biomarkers did not significantly correlate with other diagnoses, contradicting previous research focusing on individual biomarkers. This study highlights the complexity of immune responses in URTIs and the need for more effective diagnostic tools. The findings can inform the development of tailored treatment strategies based on gender, area of origin, and infection type.
