| IBD alone (n=39) | IBD+FMF (n=14) | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| WBC (count/mm3) | 12 636±6 315 | 8 177±4 080 | 0.025 |
| Hb (g/dL) | 10.44±5.2 | 10.85±5.4 | 0.820 |
| Platelets (count/mm3) | 348 845±174 420 | 294 928±147 450 | 0.07 |
| ESR (mm/h) | 38.03±18.62 | 54±28.2 | 0.04 |
| CRP (mg/dL) | 2.15±1.06 | 3.71±1.85 | 0.04 |
| pANCA (+) n (%) | 15 (38.5) | 14 (64.3) | 0.025 |
| ASCA (+) n (%) | 9 (23.1) | 5 (35.7) | 0.04 |
A p value of <0.05 was considered significant according to Mann-Whitney U test.
Values which showed a normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation
Values which did not show a normal distribution were expressed as median; the lowesr-the highest value.
FMF: familial Mediterranean fever; IBD: inflammatory bowel diseases
