Values are reported as LSMEANS and SE or 95% CI.
BAS = basophils; BDIF = basophils as percentage of total WBC; EDIF = eosinophils as percentage of total WBC; LDIF = lymphocytes as percentage of total WBC; LSMEANS = least squares means; MDIF = monocytes as percentage of total WBC; MPV = mean platelet volume; NDIF = neutrophils as percentage of total WBC; NEU = neutrophils; PCT = plateletcrit; SE or CI = standard error of the mean (pooled) or confidence interval for the general mean (for variables not normally distributed).
