Why is CXCL10 specifically predictive of CPSP risk compared to other inflammatory markers?

OPEN

The study identifies CXCL10 as having excellent predictive accuracy for CPSP (AUC=0.90), but doesn't explain why this particular chemokine is superior to other inflammatory biomarkers. Understanding this specificity could reveal unique pathophysiological pathways in chronic pain development.
