Hemoglobin, Ferritin levels and RBC Indices among children entering school and study of their correlation with one another

To study correlation of various complete blood count variables with one another and to ascertain the values of intercept and slope among those having strong correlation.

description To study correlation of various complete blood count variables with one another and to ascertain the values of intercept and slope among those having strong correlation. The cross-sectional study was conducted in Marach 2017 in the Rabwah town of Punjab province in Pakistan, and comprised randomly selected one in four children studying under the Nazrat Taleem School System. Serum sample from each subject was used to analyse complete blood count on an automated analyser, and ferritin levels were checked by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. SPSS20 was used for data analysis. There were 299 children with a median age of 67 months. Mean haemoglobin level was 12.09±0.82gm/dl. There was a very strong positive correlation between haemoglobin and haematocrit; mean corpuscular volume; and red cell distribution width; mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin; red cell distribution width and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (p
