Notes.
Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation, median (P25–P75) or percentage.
- MRV
- mean reticulocyte volume
- RHE
- reticulocyte hemoglobin content
- RPI
- reticulocyte production index
- MCV
- mean corpuscular volume
- MCH
- mean corpuscular hemoglobin
- MCHC
- mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
- RET#
- reticulocyte count
P values were calculated by student’s t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test and Chi-square test, respectively.
