A statistically significant difference (p = 0.012) was detected in the frequency of relapses between patients with a washout duration of less than 6 weeks and patients with a washout duration of 6 weeks or more, using Fisher's exact test.
A statistically significant difference (p = 0.005) was detected in the frequency of relapses between patients who had a washout duration of less than 6 weeks and patients who had a washout duration of 6 weeks or more, using Fisher's exact test.
