Shown p-values represent either the differences between the native reconstituted blood and the 20% dilution and 40% dilution, respectively. Significant differences are highlighted in italics and bold. Abbreviations: CT = clotting time; CFT = clot formation time; LI60 = lysis index after 60 min; MCF = mean clot firmness; n.c. = not calculable).
