Data are expressed as prevalence (positive/total). The percentage of positive samples is shown in parentheses.
Genetic risk of developing CD was established according to the HLA-DQ genotype. Low risk, LR; Intermediate risk, IR; High risk, HR.
Differences were calculated with the Chi-square test with the Yates' correction. p A comparison between LR vs IR; p B comparison between LR and HR; p C comparison between IR vs HR. Significant differences were established at p<0.05. Low risk, LR; Intermediate risk, IR; High risk, HR. 7 days, 7 D; 1 month, 1 M; 4 months, 4.
