ORs generated by logistic regression.

ANC, absolutely neutrophil count; ALC, absolute lymphocyte count; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.

*ORs and P values displayed in multivariable models are those generated with inclusion of ANC <500/mm3 at pH1N1 diagnosis as a predictor variable. Bold values in tables indicate P‐values lower than the significance level α = 0.05
