CIMT results and correlation analysis with other parameters
The mean CIMT values were 0.56±0.14mm and 0.56±0.15 mm in patients and HCs, respectively (p>0.05). The mean CIMT was not different among mastocytosis subgroups (p>0.05). There was no correlation between CIMT with endocan, ET-1, VEGF, TNF-α, IL-6,hsCRP, tryptase levels and FMD. As expected, a significant positive correlation was observed between CIMT values and age in the patients (p=0.03, r=0.306) (Table-4).
