HGB: hemoglobin, HCT: hematocrit, MCV: mean corpuscular volume, MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, PLT: platelets, RDW-SD: red cell distribution width-standard deviation, RDW-CV: red cell distribution width-coefficient of variation, PDW-CV: platelets distribution width, MPV: mean platelets volume, P-LCR: platelets larger cell ratio, and PCT: procalcitonin. No significant changes were found when all treatment groups were compared against the control based on a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison tests.
