Evaluation of Potential Clinical Surrogate Markers of a Trauma Induced Alteration of Clotting Factor Activities

Figure 6

Clotting factor activities of survivors and nonsurvivors after multiple trauma. Fib: fibrinogen; Ca: calcium. The results are presented by using boxplots. Bottom and top of the box indicate the 25th and 75th percentile, called interquartile range (IR). The median is represented by the horizontal bar within the box. Whiskers indicate spread (1.5 times IR). Logarithmic ordinate for better depiction. The Mann-Whitney U-test was performed with and (survivors versus nonsurvivors).
