Note: Data of PT are missing for 8 patients, aPTT for 46 patients, fibrinogen for 33 patients, D‐dimer for 34 patients, CRP for 2 patients, and platelet count for 4 patients.
Abbreviations: aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; CRP, C‐reactive protein; ICU, intensive care unit; PT, prothrombin time.
LA‐insensitive aPTT reagent was used.
Determined before mixing with normal plasma. Different assays were used for PT, aPTT, and D‐dimer determination, so data for UMC Utrecht and Erasmus MC were separated.
