Table 1

Comparison of demographic and laboratory results between HCV-infected patients and controls.

Parameters	HCV-infected patients ()	Controls ()	value
Gender (male/female)	65/29	57/27	0.853
Age (years)			0.304
WBC count (×10^9/L)			<0.001
Hemoglobin (g/L)			<0.001
Platelet count (×10^9/L)			<0.001
RDW (%)			<0.001
RPR			<0.001
1/PLR			<0.001

Data are expressed as or mean ± SD. HCV: hepatitis C virus; RDW: red cell distribution width; RPR: red cell distribution width to platelet ratio. PLR: platelet-lymphocyte ratio.
