Figure 3. Comparison of the fetal blood absolute and corrected nucleated red blood cell counts between fetuses with FIRS and those without FIRS.

Figure 3

Fetuses with FIRS have a median absolute fetal NRBC count higher than those without FIRS. (FIRS: median 0.5 / 100WBC; range 0–14 / 100WBC vs. without FIRS: median 0.30 / 100WBC; range 0–14 / 100WBC; p=0.01, Figure 3a). The median fetal NRBC count corrected for gestational age in FIRS was higher than that in fetuses without FIRS. However, the difference did not reach statistical significance (FIRS: median 0.07; range 0–1.3 vs. without FIRS: median 0.04; range 0–2.3; p=0.06; Figure 3b). The y-axis is depicted in log scale.
