Fiber thickness and average number of fibrin fibers per 1 µm2 of fibrin clot.
| ACS | SCAS | AIS | Control | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber thickness (µm) | 0.117 (0.113–0.120) |
0.135 (0.131–0.140) |
0.1645 (0.156–0.172) |
0.116 (0.112–0.121) |
<0.001 |
| Average no. of fibers per field (1 µm2) | 7.79 (7.52–8.01) |
5.97 (5.68–6.22) |
5.11 (4.67–5.33) |

The values are presented as median with 5–95th percentiles in parentheses. Kruskal–Wallis test was used to examine the differences across all subgroups of patients at p < 0.05. When Kruskal–Wallis test was statistically significant, a post hoc Dunn test was performed. Abbreviations: ACS: patients with acute coronary syndrome; SCAS: patients with significant carotid artery stenosis; AIS: patients with acute ischemic stroke.
