A Cord blood LL37 level in preterm and term neonates (mean and standard deviation (SD):term neonates-497.19 ± 404.98 vs preterm infants-355.21 ± 308.79, P = 0.01). B Cord blood and serum LL37 level in preterm neonates (mean and SD: cord blood-355.21 ± 308.79 vs serum 48–72 hours after birth-644.87 ± 449.32, P = 0.01). C Correlation between LL37 and gestation age in preterm infants (R = 0.347, P<0.0001, n = 134). D Correlations between IL-6 and LL37 level in very preterm infants (R = -0.391, p<0.0001, n = 102). E Correlations between TNF-a and LL37 level in very preterm infants (R = 0.120, p = 0.230, n = 102)
