Continuous variables are reported as median (interquartile range). Categorical variables are reported in terms of frequency (percentage). N – normal; CP – coagulopathic; SCT – standard coagulation tests; PLT – platelet count; PTI – prothrombin time index; INR – international normalized ratio; APTT – partial thromboplastin time; FIB – fibrinogen.
