  1. vWF-MVD Microvessel density count of von Willebrand factor. CD105-MVD Microvessel density count of CD105. CI Confidence interval. N Number of cases. * Statistically significant associations, p < 0.05. a One case was excluded from the vWF-MVD assessment, and another from the CD105-MVD assessment. These two cases were in different growth groups, which caused the change in number of cases for each group
