Values are expressed as median and interquartile range for continuous variables and as number and proportion for categorical variables. Continuous variables were compared using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U-test. Categorical variables were compared using the χ2 test. P <0.05 was considered significant. ISTH, International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis; ADAMTS13, a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, member 13; ADAMTS13:Ag, ADAMTS13 antigen; VWF:Ag, von Willebrand Factor antigen.
