Table shows the differences between groups of acute leukemia according to vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, defined as <10 ng/ml: Deficient levels, 10-29: Insufficient levels, 30-100: Normal levels, >100: High normal levels. All quantitative variables are expressed as mean±SD. N shows number of participants. Vitamin D3 insufficiency is represented in par enthesis as percentage. Level of significance was p<0.05.
