ESR, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate; PT, Prothrombin time; PTT, Partial thromboplastin time; INR, International normalized ratio; D-dimer.
*P value was calculated using a multiple linear regression test to find the association between asthma attack and history of parental asthma and coagulation markers and hematological markers.
P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
β- a beta level, that is probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it’s false. LL, Lower limit; UL, Upper Limit.
