  1. Diluted thrombin time is given as a median and interquartile range [IQR]. All other variables are given as means and standard deviations (± SD).
  2. CON, targeted concentration; r1: Pearson’s correlation coefficient for variable with diluted thrombin time; r2: Pearson’s correlation coefficient for variable with activated partial thromboplastin time.
