Spearman correlation test values are indicated. All parameters shown were significantly different when comparing overall ET and PV values by the Student t test (P < .01).

*

A total of 84 of 100 PV patients and 66 of 95 ET patients had cultures at the time of diagnosis.

Significant P values (< .05) for Spearman correlation test values.
