Table 4. hUCB parameters of HIE patients who died vs. survived.
| Parameter | Died (n=5) | Survived (n=15) | p | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absolute CD34+ cell count (cells/μL) | 263.40±18.12 | 261.8 (240.9, 285.9) | 39.03±38.25 | 14.7 (17.85, 60.22) | <0.0001† |
| CD34+% | 1.69±0.72 | 1.4 (0.79, 2.59) | 0.35±0.24 | 0.33 (0.22, 0.48) | <0.0001† |
| TLC (×109) | 13.02±7.92 | 11.45±6.15 | 0.04* | ||
| NRBCs (cells/100 WBCs) | 3.60±3.05 | 12.87±15.12 | 0.20* | ||
Values are mean±SD or median (confidence interval) values.
*t-test, †Mann-Whitney U test with z, p is significant if ≤0.05.
