&Categorical variables are presented using counts and percentages. #Continuous variables: WBC, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Monocytes are presented as mean
(SD); Age, Disease duration, RBC, Eosinophils and Basophils are expressed as median (interquartile range). Denote: a, difference between T1D children and controls;
b, difference between siblings and controls. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001. |
