Table 2.

The blood count parameters of both FEP patients and healthy control.

Variable FEP (n = 27) Control (n = 27) p-value
White cell count Median (IQR) 6.7 (5.5–7.8) 5.4 (4.7–7.3) *0.009
Neutrophil Median (IQR) 4.6 (3.6–5.6) 3.2 (2.6–4.1) * < 0.001
Lymphocyte Median (IQR) 1.3 (1–1.9) 1.7 (1.4–2) *0.002
Monocyte median (IQR) 0.5 (0.4–0.6) 0.5 (0.4–0.5) 0.526
Platelet Median (IQR) 242 (214–298) 255 (208–286) 0.469
NLR Median (IQR) 3.6 (2.29–4.31) 1.78 (1.49–2.14) * < 0.001
NLR (no antipsychotics, n = 24) Median (IQR) 3.6 (2.28–4.28) 1.79 (1.55–2.16) * < 0.001
NLR (non-smoker, n = 24)^ Median (IQR) 3.37 (2.28–4.22) 1.85 (1.47–2.09) * < 0.001

IQR, interquartile range; NLR, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio.

*Denotes p < 0.05.

^1 pair of age- and sex-matched FEP and control subjects were both smokers thus n = 24.
