Comparison of the manufacturer's and the present study's reference values
| Manufacturer's RRs | Present study's RRs | Inconsistency in diagnosis | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Male | Female | A(−) and B(+) | A(+) and B(−) | ||
| R (min) | 5‐10 | 4.2‐8.7 | 3.7‐9.0 | 27 (1.61%) | 273 (16.24%) |
| K (min) | 1‐3 | 1.2‐3.2 | 1.0‐3.2 | 12 (0.71%) | 23 (1.37%) |
| α (degree) | 53‐72 | 47.0‐72.3 | 48.4‐74.4 | 0 | 114 (6.78%) |
| MA (mm) | 50‐70 | 49.1‐70.5 | 46.5‐72.4 | 0 | 57 (3.39%) |
α, alpha angle; MA, maximum amplitude; K, clotting time; R, reaction time; RRs, reference ranges.
Values are presented as the P2.5th to P97.5th by the percentile method.
‘+’ indicates abnormal coagulation; ‘−’ indicates normal coagulation.
A, Manufacturer's RRs; B, present study's RRs.
