Figures & data

Figure 1. Inclusion criteria for two patient groups of anemia according to the serum iron status. Abbreviation: Hb, hemoglobin; TIBC, total iron binding capacity; TfS, transferrin saturation; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; IDA, iron deficiency anemia.

Figure 2. MPV and MPV/platelet count ratio in patients with anemia. (a) Comparison of MPV among control group (Control), IDA patients group and patients group of anemia other than IDA. In ANOVA, significant differences were observed among these three groups. (b) ROC curve analysis of MPV/platelet count ratio. At the cut-off level of 0.0318 (a red arrow), AUC is 0.815 to discriminate two anemia groups.
