Correlation analysis of IL-36 family cytokine concentration levels in the peripheral blood of 77 patients with AR. The tested data did not exhibit a normal distribution, so Spearman rank correlation analysis was used. The results showed that the IL-36α level was positively correlated with IL-36γ level (r = 0.28, P = 0.013), the IL-36β level was positively correlated with IL-36Ra and IL-38 levels (r = 0.55, P < 0.001; r = 0.56, P < 0.001), the IL-36γ level was positively correlated with IL-36Ra level (r = 0.30, P = 0.008), the IL-36Ra level was positively correlated with IL-38 level (r = 0.45, P < 0.001), and there was no correlation between the levels of the remaining cytokines (P > 0.05).
