WBC (×10/L)	0.09 [−2.16–1.43]	−0.806	0.420	0.19 [−0.73–1.00]	−0.588	0.577
RBC (×10/L)	0.10 [−2.21–0.29]	−0.881	0.378	−0.08 [−0.29–0.14]	−1.203	0.229
Hb (g/L)	4.00 [−7.00–13.00]	1.139	0.260	1.00 [−4.00–10.00]	0.900	0.375
NEUT (×10/L)	0.00 [−1.81–0.89]	−1.088	0.276	−0.02 [−0.46–0.46]	−0.216	0.829
LYM (×10/L)	0.15 [−0.25–0.41]	−1.311	0.190	0.10 [−0.24–0.33]	−0.941	0.347
PLT (×10/L)	−16.00 [−73.50–28.50]	−1.651	0.099	−18.00 [−42.00–2.00]	−2.412	0.016
Data ae expressed as median (interquartile range). Differences between the 2 groups were tested by the Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed continuous variables. BM – bronchomalacia; WBC – white blood cell; RBC – red blood cell; NEUT – neutrophil; LYM – lymphocyte; Hb – hemoglobin; PLT – platelet.
