PCV and TS values represent the mean and standard deviation.
If significant platelet clumping was noted on blood smear analysis, total platelet number was estimated as decreased, adequate, or increased.
a
Platelet and neutrophil values represent the median and range.
b
Platelet counts were not available for all anemic patients.
