Correlation of the reticulocyte counts with the Hb trends at 2 weeks and 6 months. To derive the temporal trend in hemoglobin, a best-fit (ordinary least squares) line of hemoglobin over time was plotted for each subject: the slope of this line represented the temporal trend of the hemoglobin level. a Correlation of the reticulocyte count with the Hb trend at 2 weeks (n = 358). The correlation coefficient was r = −0.20, p < 0.001. b Correlation of the reticulocyte count with the Hb trend at 6 months (n = 338). The correlation coefficient was r = −0.21, p < 0.001
