NS indicates not significant.

*

P < .10 are shown; P < .05 (shown in bold) are statistically significant.

For multivariate analysis, factors with P < .10 were included.

P < .05 (shown in bold) are statistically significant.

§

Stratified onset ages were analyzed in advance, and ≥ 8 years was chosen as the age factor.

Splenomegaly was excluded from multivariate analysis, because this factor was closely associated with anemia, thrombocytopenia, and liver dysfunction.
