  1. Ratios for each parameter were formed from absolute values with/without rFVIIa. Samples from cord blood derived and adult plasma with platelet counts of 100,000/µl, 75,000/µl, 50,000/µl, 10,000/µl and platelet poor plasma (PPP) with rFVIIa at 1.5 µg/ml (n = 5). *Marks a significant difference to baseline level of the same platelet count (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.001). §Marks a significant difference between adult and cord blood samples (§p < 0.05; §§p < 0.001). ETP (endogenous thrombin potential), ttpeak (time-to-peak), velix (velocity index).
