Fig. 1. Classification and regression tree (CART). Each terminal node of the tree (leaf) contains the name of the identified class (here: 1, 2, 3), likelihood of being diagnosed with celiac disease (here: 0.00, 0.33, 0.92), share of patients in the class relative to the entire sample (here: 19%, 21%, 60%)
Fig. 2. Distribution of patients across the classes based on the fact of being diagnosed with celiac disease in the form of the column а) and mosaic b) charts. The corresponding classes are designated by numbers in pentagons
Table 1. Levels of antibodies assessed by enzyme-linked immunoassay and the rate of elevated Abs in groups 1 and 2
Note: * — Mann–Whitney U-test. Threshold р0 = 0.004 (after applying Bonferroni correction: 14 comparisons). * * — Chi-squared test and Yates's Chi-squared test. Threshold р0 = 0.004 (after applying Bonferroni correction: 14 comparisons). * * * — Median value, [Q1; Q3] Note: TPO — thyroid peroxidase; TG — thyroglobulin; GAD — glutamate decarboxylase; ICA — pancreatic islet cell antibodies; IA2 — tyrosine phosphatase; Р450с21 — 21-hydroxylase, TGM2 — tissue transglutaminase.

Note: * — Mann–Whitney U-test. Threshold р0 = 0.003 (after applying Bonferroni correction: 16 comparisons). * * — Chi-squared test and Yates's Chi-squared test.
