Table 1. Decay time and associated metrics together with manual categorization of capillary contents for both “outlier” and “control” vessel-epochs.

Capillary contents

Parameter Cell agg. or WBC Plasma length Normal (v < 1 mm/s) Normal (v > 1 mm/s)
Outlier epochs (n) 208 160 103 51
Control epochs (n) 4 14 37 340
Total epochs (n) 212 174 140 391
Rate (sensitivity or specificity) 0.98 (208/212) 0.92 (160/174) 0.74 (103/140) 0.87 (340/391)
Unique segments (n) 45 39 40 73
Velocity (mm/s for seg. in epoch) 1.8 ± 0.7 1.4 ± 0.5 0.7 ± 0.2 2.0 ± 0.8
Average velocity (mm/s for seg.) 2.0 ± 0.4 1.7 ± 0.4 0.9 ± 0.3 1.9 ± 0.7
Field velocity (mm/s in epoch) 1.9 ± 0.4 2.0 ± 0.4 1.4 ± 0.3 1.8 ± 0.4
“Sheathing” (ratio for seg. in epoch) 1.44 ± 0.38 1.38 ± 0.41 1.29 ± 0.27 1.02 ± 0.06
Average “sheathing” (ratio for seg.) 1.12 ± 0.12 1.13 ± 0.13 1.22 ± 0.24 1.01 ± 0.03

Contents were rated as “cell”, “plasma” or “neither” by a blinded observer. Ratings of “neither” were broken down into slow or not-slow with a velocity criterion of 1 mm/sec. Values accompanied by uncertainty symbols indicate mean ± standard deviation.
