Table 2.

Parameters of the coagulation and of the fibrinolytic system in symptom-free periods and during attacks, in the same C1-INH-HAE patients. The Linear Mixed Model was used to simulate random effects and repeated measures, to detect differences between the attacks occurring at a “Single site” vs. at “Multiple sites”, or in subcutaneous (SC) vs. submucosal (SM) location

Dependent variable Comparison made between: Estimatea 95 % Confidence interval P valuea

D-dimer, mg/L Attack at single site vs. multiple sites 3.504 2.699 4.308 0.002
Attack in SC or SM location −1.737 −1.953 −1.522 0.060
