Correlations between complete blood count readings and drug usage.

Readings	PLT	MPV	Neutro-Phyle%	Neutro-Phyle Count
Diuretics (r, p)	−1.69, 0.041	−1.66, 0.034	−0.187, 0.017
Nitrates (r, p)			0.172, 0.029	0.196, 0.013
Statines (r, p)	0.211, 0.011		−0.166, 0.034
Calcium channel blockers (r, p)		0.269, 0.0001
Digoxin (r, p)		0.175, 0.025
Heparine (r, p)		0.216, 0.005

PLT—platelet count; MPV—mean platelet volume. Stepwise regression analyses used with drug usage as predictors or determinants and measured readings showed that diuretics, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin were weak independent predictors for MPV (R² = 0.03, p < 0.027; R² = 0.07, p < 0.001; R² = 0.03, p < 0.027, respectively). Diuretics and statins were weak independent predictors for PLT (R² = 0.029, p < 0.041 and R² = 0.045, p < 0.011, respectively). Diuretics, nitrates, and statins were weak independent predictors for neutrophil percentage (R² = 0.035, p < 0.017, R² = 0.029, p < 0.029, R² = 0.028, p < 0.034, respectively).
