¹RBC: red blood cell concentration; HGB: hemoglobin concentration; HCT: hematocrit; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW: red blood cell distribution width; PLT: platelet concentration; MPV: mean platelet volume. ²FDR-group: adjusted p-values for the significant level of group effect using the Benjamini and Hochberg correction (FDR) in R to control false positives from multiple comparisons (R Core Team, 2017 Package ‘stats’). ³Values in a column suffixed with different letters are significantly different from each other at FDR < 0.05. ⁴Significant differences among RES, MID, SUS and DEAD groups are highlighted in bold (FDR < 0.05).
