Comparison of CysC levels by AIS grade and presence or absence of steroid therapy on each of the first 7 days. a SCI samples were regrouped by AIS grade, and the CysC levels were compared within each day. No significant differences were found except on the fifth day. The CysC levels of the AIS A group were significantly higher than those of the AIS C group (*p = 0.029); b SCI samples were regrouped by whether they had received steroid therapy, and these subgroups were compared within each day. No significant differences were found among the subgroups (p > 0.3)
