POD: post operative day; apix: apixaban; PCC: prothrombin complex concentrate (25 IU/kg=0.35 IU/mL; 50 IU/kg=0.7IU/mL); CT: clotting time; PT: prothrombin time; aPTT: activated partial prothrombin. Times are reported in seconds (s). Data for other parameters are median and 95% confidence interval in brackets. Pairwise Wilcoxon exact test (two-tailed):
