A Median difference in epigenetic NLR at birth (D0) between infants that developed localized infection or clinical sepsis within the first seven days in the EPIC-002 cohort. Exact p-values by t-test. Total n = 54. B Difference in median epigenetic NLR from preterm and term (control) umbilical cord blood samples. Exact p-values by t test. Total n = 90. Boxplots show the median and interquartile range (IQR, 25th-75th percentile). Whiskers extend to the most extreme data points within 1.5 times the IQR from the box hinges (the 25th and 75th percentiles). Points outside this range are considered outliers and are plotted individually).
