Data in parenthesis (brackets) means 95% confidence intervals (CI). The normal range of PT, INR, aPTT, and TT were 9–13 s, 0.8–1.2, 20–40 s, and 14–24 s, respectively. PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; PT, prothrombin time; aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; INR, international normalized ratio; TT, thrombin time.
