	Non‐ICU	ICU	Significance
Sample size, N	39	18	—
ALC	1.4 ± 0.15	0.8 ± 0.11	*P = .01
Hemoglobin	12.9 ± 0.37	11.3 ± 0.54	P = .08
Hematocrit	38.5 ± 1.38	35.4 ± 1.30	P = .55
Platelet count	202.8 ± 11.84	274.7 ± 20.22	*P = .02
WBC	8.8 ± 0.73	10.4 ± 1.13	P = 1.0

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Welch's two‐sample t test with a Bonferroni post hoc correction for multiple comparisons was used to compare groups. An asterisk indicates a statistically significant result.
