Numbers in parentheses are reference intervals. ALP = alkaline phosphatase; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; BandNeut = band neutrophils; CKD = chronic kidney disease; DKA = diabetic ketoacidosis; Hct = hematocrit; IBD = inflammatory bowel disease; IMHA = immune-mediated hemolytic anemia; LP = lymphoplasmacytic; RI = reference interval; SegNeut = segmented neutrophil. Values in bold met the criteria to contribute to the systemic illness score utilized in our study. One point each was attributed to: fever on presentation (≥ 39.4°C or 103.0°F), neutrophilia (> 12.0 × 109/L), presence of band neutrophils on blood smear analysis, biochemical evidence of organ involvement and/or dysfunction (creatinine > 142 µmol/L; ALT > 138 U/L; ALP > 157 U/L), and anemia (hematocrit < 0.30 L/L). Systemic illness scores were as follows: 0–1 = mild systemic illness, 2–3 = moderate systemic illness, 4–5 = severe systemic illness.
