Correlation between CRP and average neck/shoulder pain intensity. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (rs) = 0.43; p = 0.001. Markers of subjects with the same value on both axes have been scattered around the true value, for the sake of clarity. The CRP concentration is missing for one individual due to a technical error. Open circles denote subjects with work-related MSD (affected), and filled diamonds denote control subjects (unaffected).
