Figure Lengend Snippet: The bar graphs show the changes in the platelet counts, prothrombin-time ratio (PT ratio), and levels of fibrinogen, FDP, D-dimer, and antithrombin in the 338 patients for whom data were collected immediately after admission in the emergency department. ACOTS, patients who met the ACOTS diagnostic criteria; control, patients who did not meet the JAAM DIC criteria; ISTH, patients who simultaneously met both the JAAM and ISTH DIC criteria; JAAM, patients who met the JAAM DIC criteria. The ACOTS patients overlapped with the control, JAAM, and ISTH patients. For time points 0 to 3, refer to the Methods section in detail. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; † P < 0.001 versus control.
Article Snippet: The platelet counts (XE-5000; Sysmex, Tokyo, Japan), and levels of fibrinogen (Thrombocheck Fib; Sysmex), FDP (NanopiaP-FDP, Sekisuimedical, Tokyo), and D-dimer (Nanopia D-dimer; Sekisuimedical) were measured by using the same kits in three hospitals.
Techniques: Diagnostic Assay, Control
