Distribution of reticulocytes according to their degree of maturity and to the clinical status.

Parameters	Painful crisis (𝑛=30)	Steady state (𝑛=30)	𝑃
	m ± sd	m ± sd
Total reticulocytes (%)	15.5±10	8.4±4.9	0.003
Total reticulocytes (/μL)	283 678 ± 153 711	200 721 ± 10 708	0.002
LFR	51.5±15.9	56.6±7.5	0.3
MFR	37.9±10	36.7±5.4	0.18
HFR (%)	10.7±9.9	6.7±3.5	0.012
IRF (%)	48.6±15.9	43.4±7.5	0.3

m ± sd: mean ± standard deviation.
𝑃: Chi-Square test.
LFR: low fluorescence reticulocytes or mature reticulocytes.
MFR: medium fluorescence reticulocytes or semimature reticulocytes.
HFR: high fluorescence reticulocytes or immature reticulocytes.
IRF: index reticulocytes fraction or stress reticulocytes (MFR + HFR).
