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).
