| Data are expressed as means±standard or median (interquartile range). Differences between the 2 groups were tested by the unpaired test for normally distributed continuous variables and the Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed continuous variables. BM – tracheomalacia; WBC – white blood cell; RBC – red blood cell; NEUT – neutrophil; LYM – lymphocyte; Hb – hemoglobin; PLT – platelet; TP – total protein; Alb – albumin; Tbil – total bilirubin; ALT – alanine transaminase; AST – aspartate aminotransferase; GGT – glutamyl transpeptidase; Crea – creatinine. | ||||
