Data are expressed as mean mean ± SD or median (IQR) when appropriate. P-trend values are derived from Jonckheere-Terpstra tests for continuous variables and χ2 for categorical variables. Variables with statistically-significant differences are highlighted in bold.
RDW: red cell distribution width; MCV: mean corpuscular volume.
