The slopes and correlation coefficients of the regressions between the MWT analysis and SYSMEX SF-3000 values, bias, and standard deviation (S.D.) for the RBC indices (MCV, MCHC, MCH, RBC#, HCT, and HGB) calculated for the full data set of samples from anemic patients ( = 51) and for the reduced set that excluded outliers ( = 43).
