Blood cell counts and the NLR in the cases and controls prior to (Pre) and one and two days following (1-d, 2-d) TKA. a Neutrophil counts were significantly increased on 1-d in both groups (bar, p = 0.008 vs Pre). Neutrophil counts were not significantly different between the cases and control (p = 0.22). b Lymphocyte counts were significantly decreased on 1-d in both groups (bar, p = 0.008 vs Pre). Lymphocyte counts were not significantly different between groups (p = 0.32). c The NLRs were significantly increased in both groups on 1-d (cases and controls, *p < 0.001 vs Pre) and 2-d (bar, p ≤ 0.01 vs Pre). The NLR on 1-d was significantly increased ($ p = 0.002) in the cases compared to the controls. Data are presented as mean (SD)
