Correlation of LCN2 (L) or LCN2-MMP9 (LM) levels with MRI scores. A Correlation of LM levels with SPARCC SIJ scores and Berlin Spine Scores in patients with elevation of both L and LM levels (L+LM+; n = 16) vs patients with normal L and LM levels (LnLMn; n = 13). B Correlation of L levels with SPARCC SIJ scores and Berlin Spine Scores in L+LM+ vs LnLMn patients. C Correlation of L levels with SPARCC SIJ scores and Berlin Spine Scores in L+ (n = 8) vs LnLMn (n = 13) patients. Pearson’s correlation coefficient test and Spearman’s rho correlation calculation were used to determine the significance. D L levels in L+LM+ patients are significantly higher than that in L+ patients. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) including Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) was used to determine the significance
