Notes:
The participants were grouped by sex and G6PD deficiency status. The data of the hematological parameters of each group were analyzed and were presented as mean ± SD. The different of each parameter between normal and G6PD deficiency was statistical analyzed.
Values are presented as n, %, mean ± SD, or raw data where appropriate. RBC, red blood cell; HGB, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red cell distribution width; fL, femtoliter; g/dL, gram per deciliter.
Statistical comparison was done using the Mann-Whitney U test and P-values between normal vs deficiency groups of males.
Statistical comparison was done using the Mann-Whitney U test and P-values between normal vs partial deficiency groups of females.
