Bold values show statistical significance of differences

aThrombocytopenia with platelet count < 100 × 109/L and a decrease in 25% or more from baseline of the platelet count

bThrombocytopenia due to a platelet count drop decrease of 25% or more from baseline

cShock patients require vasoactive medications
