Note

Values are median (interquartile range) or means ± standard deviation. Subhazard ratios (SHRs) were calculated using Fine and Gray models taking into account the mortality (n = 27) as competing events and were expressed per one standard deviation unless otherwise as indicated.

Abbreviations: aPTTr, activated partial thromboplastin time ratio; CI, confidence interval; CRP, C‐reactive protein; FVIII, factor VIII activity; PTr, prothrombin time ratio; SD, standard deviation; SHR, subhazard ratio; VWF:Ag, von Willebrand factor antigen.

a

Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes calculated after handling missing values (in biological and confounding factors) by multiple imputation.

b

SHR calculated for O versus others blood groups.

c

SHR calculated per one standard deviation in log‐transformed values.

d

Modeled with time‐dependent coefficients to accommodate deviation in proportional subhazard assumption.

e

P‐value for overall effect calculated using a likelihood ratio test.
