*Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Benjamini-Hochberg corrected p values were calculated by computing p(k)=m/k for all sorted p values (p=sorted p values; m=total number of sorted p values; k=corresponding rank). Then p values were adjusted from the bigger to the smallest. If the value p(k)=m/k was bigger than the previous adjusted p value, the corresponding corrected p value was equal to the previous one since numbers should not increase.
CRP, C reactive protein; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; TIA, transient ischaemic attack.
