Table 2. Pearson's correlations of particulate matter (PM) concentrations, considered as a whole (PM10) or subdivided in the finest (PM2.5) and the coarse component (PM10-2.5), with activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT).* .
aPTT | PT | ||
PM10 | R | −0.119 | −0.187 |
P | 0.274 | 0.060 | |
PM2.5 | R | −0.089 | −0.129 |
P | 0.416 | 0.198 | |
PM10-2.5 | R | −0.112 | −0.247 |
P | 0.303 | 0.012 |
: This analysis was performed in a subgroup of patients admitted to Emergency Department for mild respiratory symptoms, without active thrombosis and not taking anticoagulant therapy, for whom data about coagulation times were available (n = 102).
