Leukocytes, monocytes and monocyte subsets in PAOD patients.
Total leukocyte and monocyte counts, as well as monocyte frequencies among leukocytes (Panel A) as well as monocyte subset distributions among total monocytes (B) were assessed in n = 143 patients with various degrees of PAOD, as represented by different Rutherford stages (I–VI). Relationships between Rutherford stage and the different cell measures were assessed using Pearson’s correlation. A significant correlation is indicated by a p-value < 0.05. Data are presented as box plots, outliers are shown as single dots. Sample sizes are: Rutherford stage I: n = 24, II: n = 8, III: n = 74, IV: n = 16, V: n = 13, VI: n = 8.
