[Thrombocytosis and anaemia (author's transl)]

The authors found a significant statistical association between thrombocytosis and anaemia in 600 patients admitted to Hotel-Dieu of Marseille: p < 10(-3) with Chi 2 test and p < 5.10(-4) with Mann-Whitney test. There is also a significant correlation (linear and non-parametric Spearmann): r = -0,212; p < 10(-3); and a partial correlation between platelets count and weight of haemoglobin, which is independant of sedimentation rate.
