Footnotes: Ages are shown as mean (SD), integrins and D-Dimer level as median (1st, 3rd quartiles), and categorical data as the number and percentage to the sample group. Age was compared with student’s t test. Gender was compared with chi-square test. Integrin and D-Dimer level was compared with Mann-Whitney U test. Abbreviations: DVT, deep venous thrombosis; PE, pulmonary embolism; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CAD, coronary artery disease; CI, cerebral infarction.
