Within the early (days 3–5) window, day-specific medians were numerically higher in the dexamethasone group but did not reach statistical significance: Day 3: WBC 6,500 vs. 6,000 cells/μL ( p = 0.12); platelets 250 vs. 230 × 103/μL ( p = 0.08).

a notable trendno p-value reported
A notable trend toward faster hematological recovery was observed in the dexamethasone group, with higher median white blood cell (WBC) counts (e.g., 7,000 vs. 6,500 cells/μL by day 4, p = 0.15) and platelet counts (e.g., 270 vs. 250 × 103/μL by day 4, p = 0.10), though these differences did not reach statistical significance.
