^aP < 0.05 vs cohort 2.

^bP < 0.05 vs cohort 3.

^cP < 0.05 vs cohort 2 + 3 combined.

^dP < 0.05 vs cohort 1.

^eNo statistically significant difference versus any other cohort.

P values are shown where there is a statistically significant difference between specified cohorts. Bonferroni adjustment was applied when comparing more than 2 groups at P < 0.05. CD: Crohn’s disease; CPF: Crohn’s perianal fistulas; NA: Not applicable; PF: Perianal fistulas.
