A The ratio of the area of villous epithelium (VE) to the area of lamina propria serves as a surrogate for villus height or blunting when comparing by grouped modified Marsh score categories, *p < 0.0001. B) The ratio of crypt epithelium (CE) area to villous epithelium area is a surrogate for crypt hyperplasia, *p < 0.0001. C The number of CD3 immuno-positive lymphocytes divided by the total number of villous enterocytes was determined, *p < 0.0001. D The ratio of the area of villous epithelium to the crypt epithelium is a surrogate for the ratio of villus height to crypt depth, *p < 0.0001
