WBC: total white blood cell; NEU: neutrophil; LYM: lymphocyte; MON: monocyte; EOS: eosinophil; BAS: basophil; PLT: platelet; MPV: mean platelet volume; PDW: platelet distribution width; PCT: plateletcrit; SD: standard deviation. Values are presented as mean (standard deviation). Mean difference is statistically significant at .
