Comparison of inflammatory markers in the patient group according to intestinal involvement.
| Variable | Patients with BD with GI involvement | BD without GI involvement | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| WBC, (mm3) | 7120 ± 1895 | 6800 ± 1578 | 0.146 |
| ∗ESR, mm/hour | 15 (2–64) | 6 (2–12) | 0.696 |
| ∗CRP, mg/dL | 0.387 (0.01–4.2) | 0.21 (0.01–0.20) | 0.190 |
| ∗Fecal calprotectin μg/g | 48 (33–770) | 18 (8–30) | 0.010 |
Non-normally distributed parameters with “∗” sign are expressed as median (minimum–maximum).
WBC: white blood cell, ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and CRP: C-reactive protein.
