*Differences between groups were anaylysed using an independent-samples t-test. If the normality assumption was severely violated, a Mann-Whitney U test was used. Values marked by an asterisk were analysed by use of the Mann-Whitney U test.
ETP, endogenous thrombin potential; MELD-XI, model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalised ratio; PF4, platelet factor 4.
