Table 3.
Medians and ranges (min–max) of histopathological severity scores of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cholangitis, and pancreatitis in subgroups of the study population based on organ involvement
| Groups | IBD Score | Cholangitis Score | Pancreatitis Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median (Range) | Median (Range) | Median (Range) | |
| Ctrl (n = 8) | 0a (0) | 0a (0) | 0a (0) |
| IBD (n = 13) | 2b (1‐4) | 0a (0) | 0a (0) |
| Ch (n = 6) | 0a (0) | 2a (1–2) | 0a (0) |
| IBD+Ch (n = 16) | 3b,c (1–4) | 1a (1–3) | 0a (0) |
| IBD+Ch+P (n = 8) | 4c (1–4) | 2a (1–3) | 1.5a (1–4) |
| P (n = 1) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 4 (4) |
| IBD+P (n = 2) | 2.5 (1–4) | 0 (0) | 2.5 (2–3) |
a, b, c: in the same column of the table, medians followed by common letter do not differ significantly, according to the results of a series of Mann‐Whitney tests. Statistically significant differences exist between medians followed by different superscript letters.
Ctrl: controls
IBD: cats with histopathological evidence of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease
Ch: cats with histopathological evidence of cholangitis
IBD+Ch: cats with histopathological evidence of IBD and cholangitis
IBD+Ch+P: cats with histopathological evidence of IBD, cholangitis, and pancreatitis
P: cats with histopathological evidence of pancreatitis
IBD+P: cats with histopathological evidence of IBD and pancreatitis
