Mucosal thickness1 | 751 ± 72ns | 628 ± 93ns | 718 ± 117ns | 571 ± 79ns | 541 ± 116ns | 891 ± 83ns |
Deciliation score2 | 3.8 ± 0.2ns | 3.4 ± 0.4ns | 4.0 ± 0.0ns | 2.5 ± 0.3ns | 2.0 ± 0.6ns | 4.0 ± 0.0ns |
Data are shown as mean ± standard error.
Mucosal thickness was measured using ImageJ at 40× magnification image.
Deciliation score was assessed using a scale from 1 to 4 where 1 (normal), 2 (focal), 3 (multifocal), and 4 diffuse).
Not statistically significant.
