Table 2. CBC values at baseline, at onset of FI/(NPO) and afterwards (n=63).

Note: All comparisons were done using a paired t-test.

1 Comparison from baseline to the onset of FI. 2 Comparison between the onset of FI and afterwards

CBC = Complete blood count; FI/(NPO = Feeding intolerance/nil per oral
