     No there is not a clear relationship.
     Why do you want to know how many ESRs are done?
     If you are a physician, you should know that an ESR is something like
     taking a temperature. It can give one a clue that something is not quite
     right. Sometimes it may be the only "symptom".
     If you are interested in the science, please see J. Biol. Sys.3, 273 (1995
