Changes in peripheral cell counts in infants <33 weeks (A–D) and ≥33 weeks (E–H) at the end of antibiotic treatment. Median absolute levels of monocytes (A), lymphocytes (C), neutrophils (E), and bands (G) are plotted at baseline, NEC diagnosis, and the end of the antibiotic course (End Abx). Tukey boxplots for percent changes in monocytes (B), lymphocytes (D), neutrophils (F), and bands (H) at end of antibiotics compared with NEC diagnosis. Bars represent 25 and 75% percentiles (A,C,E,G) or 1.5× the IQR (B,D,F,H). *Significance for absolute cell count; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. *Significance for percent change; *p < 0.05. °Indicates outliers (>1.5 × IQR) and xindicates extreme outliers (>3 × IQR).
