All cirrhotics (n=106)
Mean (SD)	108.0 (83.8)	2.1 (1.1)	6.5 (2.7)	2.4 (1.4)	69.0 (6.8)	53.5 (12.2)

Reference ranges for TEG parameters established by a healthy population.

INR and platelet count reference ranges are accepted laboratory reference ranges.

P-value: significant differences between healthy and total cirrhotic population.

INR indicates international normalized ratio; MA, maximum amplitude; Plt, platelet; TEG, thromboelastography
