Figure 1.
Blood monocyte concentration is higher in IBD patients with EIMs. (A) Monocyte concentration (×109/L) between IBD-EIM and IBD-C. Values above the redline are above reference levels and represents monocytosis (>0.70 × 109/L). (B) Monocyte concentration by EIM count (0, 1, ≥2). (C) Monocyte concentration between CD-EIM and CD-C. (D) Monocyte concentration between UC-EIM and UC-C. (E) Monocytosis in IBD-EIM vs. IBD-C. (F) Monocytosis by EIM count. (G) Monocytosis between CD-EIM and CD-C. (H) Monocytosis between UC-EIM and UC-C. MW: Mann–Whitney’s test; KW: Kruskal–Wallis test; FE: Fisher’s exact test. Monocytes were not available for all participants, leading to reduced group sizes for this analysis: IBD-EIM (n = 85), IBD-C (n = 40), CD-EIM (n = 59), CD-C (n = 18), UC-EIM (n = 26) and UC-C (n = 22). p Values < .05 were considered significant.
