C-reactive protein (CRP) was available in in 52%; erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was available in 39%; Platelets was available in 76%; white blood cell count (WBC) was available in 76%; albumin was available in 58%; hemoglobin was available in 76%.

Abnormal levels of WBC, hemoglobin, and albumin determined by the age and sex of each patients. Abnormal levels of CRP defined as >0.5 mg/dl, for ESR >25 mm/h and for platelets >450 10^3/micL.
