Figure 5.

Relationship between blood coagulation factor and time to recovery from DIC in the recovery group. The initial platelet count, PT-INR, and serum levels of FDP and D-dimer at the time of the diagnosis of DIC are shown in A, B, C, and D, respectively. Open and closed circles represent the non-lung cancer and lung cancer groups, respectively. With the regression line, broken and solid lines represent the non-lung cancer and lung cancer groups, respectively. A significant negative correlation in the platelet count was observed in patients without lung cancer.
