Diagnostic accuracy of dabigatran‐specific coagulation tests. Left: Scatter plots showing the correlation of dabigatran concentrations determined by ultraperformance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC‐MS/MS, criterion standard) and dabigatran‐specific coagulation tests: Hemoclot direct thrombin inhibitor assay (HTI, A), Biophen direct thrombin inhibitor assay (BDTI, B) and calibrated ecarin clotting time (ECT, C). Green dots represent samples correctly identified as below or above the safe‐for‐treatment threshold of 30 ng/mL (true‐negative and true‐positive results). Red dots represent samples incorrectly identified as below the safe‐for‐treatment threshold (false negative). Orange dots represent samples incorrectly identified as above the safe‐for‐treatment threshold (false positive). Right: Bland‐Altman blot of UPLC‐MS/MS and coagulation test results showing the mean measurement error and SD of test results.
