Abbreviations: ch, channel unity; HC, healthy control; IG, Immature Granulocyte count; NE-FSC, size or volume of neutrophils; NEUT-GI, neutrophil granularity index; NEUT-RI, neutrophil reactive index; NE-WX, reflects the width of dispersion of neutrophils population, with respect to neutrophil side-scatter (NE-SSC); NE-WY, represents the fluorescence distribution width of neutrophil population, with respect to neutrophil fluorescence intensity (NE-SFL); NE-WZ, reflects the distribution width of neutrophils population, with respect to neutrophil forward scatter (NE-FSC); this is proportional to the width of dispersion of neutrophil cell size.
