Baseline demographic characteristics of subjects treated with long‐term antibiotics with and without neutropenia.
| Neutropenic | Nonneutropenic | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| N (total) | 10 | 29 | |
| Age, median (range) | 8.5 y (6 m–17 y) | 8 y (6 m–15 y) | 0.54 |
| Gender | 0.23 | ||
| Female, N (%) | 7 (70%) | 14 (48%) | |
| Race/ethnicity | 0.77 | ||
| Hispanic (%) | 2 (20%) | 8 (28%) | |
| Non‐Hispanic Black (%) | 2 (20%) | 6 (21%) | |
| Non‐Hispanic White (%) | 3 (30%) | 12 (41%) | |

| Lowest ANC, median (range) | 895 (460–1570) | 3650 (1666–10,360) | <0.0001 |
Note: Statistical significance defined as p < 0.05 determined by parametric t‐test or nonparametric Mann–Whitney test for continuous variables, and Chi‐square or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables (n = 10 in neutropenic group, 29 in non‐neutropenic group).
Abbreviation: ANC, absolute neutrophil count.
