ND means not determined; ns means not significant; median value significantly differed from day 0 (K+ levels), or day 7 (for osmotic fragility or % free haemoglobin); ns means not statistically significantly different; statistical significance was estimated per each blood group in relation to days in storage by means of Friedman’s repeated measure test with Dunn’s multiple correction; across the two age groups, statistical differences within each day were calculated using the Kruskal–Wallis test. |
