All the blood samples were collected during two different time points from each patient (<5 days and 5–15 days after hospital admission). Blood samples were collected into blood tubes containing K2EDTA (BD Plus-Plastic tubes). All the samples were kept at -80°C until analysis.
Plus plastic tubes
Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United Kingdom
BD Plus-Plastic tubes are laboratory containers designed to store and transport various samples, solutions, or reagents. They are made of durable, high-quality plastic material. The tubes provide a reliable and secure storage solution for common laboratory applications.

Although samples for CBC parameters are collected from both fasted and non-fasted patients, recently the effect of non-fasting samples on CBC parameters measurements have been criticized [12, 13] . We collected fasting blood samples to avoid such preanalytical variations. Samples were drawn from all subjects once weekly for 10 consecutive weeks from February to May 2016. Samples were collected on defined days (Tuesday-Thursday) at the same time (8.30-10.30 a.m.). Most samples were drawn by the same phlebotomists.
Blood samples were collected from the antecubital vein using 21-gauge needles (Becton Dickinson [BD] Vacutainer Precision glide, Plymouth, UK) into blood tubes containing K 2 EDTA (BD Plus-Plastic Tubes). All samples were analyzed within 1 h (at a room temperature controlled at 23 ± 2 °C).
Blood samples for clinical chemistry analyses were drawn into tubes containing gel separators and no additives (BD Vacutainer SSTII Advance Tubes).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
