Comparison of complication and non-complication groups of CD patients. (A) Patients with fistulas had a higher serum ESR (P=0.0221) and a lower eosinophil count compared with patients without fistulas (P=0.0121); (B) patients with a higher ESR level or lower eosinophil count had a higher rate of fistula incidence (P=0.002 and P≤0.001, respectively); (C) patients with strictures had a higher serum ESR (P=0.0322) and PLT count (P=0.0089) compared with patients without strictures; (D) association of increased serum ESR and PLT count and the occurrence of strictures (P≤0.001 and 0.003, respectively). CD, Crohn’s disease; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; PLT, platelet.
