I was hoping someone could clarify something for me.

THere is a slide titled "Initial Blood Counts predict response to immunosuppression and Survival" in a presentation given by Dr, P Scheinberg. from NIH. In the slide I think slide #34 it has a graph showing ARC >25000 has a better response rate to IST then ARC <25000 at time of treatment. When I looked at my son's Assessment from the Dr at time of diagnosis it states- "With a Hemoglovin of 3 one would expect a more brisk reticulocytosis and his was only 1.4%, which is concerning for inadequate marrow response."

MY question is how does one convert 1.4% to the 25000 number used in the presentation? I have been trying to figure this out all day. Im sure someone much smarter on here already has the answer, or can tell me what im missing. Appreciate the help.
