From: Prevalence and Significance of Coagulation Abnormalities in Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Mean coagulation factor levels over hospital d 1 through 7 in subjects hospitalized with CAP, stratified by initial illness severity (APACHE III quartiles (q)), development of severe sepsis, and 90-d mortality. To accentuate differences between groups, y-axes do not cross zero. Means are geometric means estimated from Tobit models when appropriate. Geometric means roughly approximate medians. Normal values are: D-dimer ≤256 ng/mL, TAT ≤5.0 ng/mL, PAI activity ≤31 lU/mL, factor IX activity ≥60%, and antithrombin activity ≥70%.
