Note: values are provided as median (interquartile range). Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to test the differences between auto, allo, control, and healthy control groups. ND: not determined. Analysis within the groups: (a) significant differences from baseline are denoted as value ≤ 0.05 and value ≤ 0.005; (b) significant differences from day 30 are denoted as # value ≤ 0.05 and ## value ≤ 0.005; and (c) significant differences from day 90 are denoted as ^ value ≤ 0.05 and ^^ value ≤ 0.005. Analysis between the groups: (a) significant differences in comparison to the allo group are denoted as ! value ≤ 0.05 and !! value ≤ 0.005; (b) significant differences in comparison to the control group are denoted as § value ≤ 0.05 and §§ value ≤ 0.005; and (c) significant differences in comparison to the healthy control group are denoted as value ≤ 0.05 and ¶¶ value ≤ 0.005.
