Comparison of coagulation parameters on the day of ICU admission versus the day of ICU discharge or death. a The D-dimer concentration was significantly increased in non-survivors on the day of death (p = 0.004). b The D-dimer concentration was stratified into four levels. The mortality rate was increased when the D-dimer concentration was > 0.5 mg/L and peaked when the D-dimer concentration was > 5 mg/L. c The fibrinogen concentration was increased in non-survivors and decreased in survivors on the day of ICU discharge or end of data collection (p = 0.001, 0.000). d The PLT was decreased in non-survivors on the day of death but increased as patients recovered (p = 0.000, 0.024). e The antithrombin concentration was significantly decreased in non-survivors on the day of death (p = 0.000). f The serum calcium concentration was decreased in non-survivors on the day of death (p = 0.031).
