  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation or as median (25th percentile, 75th percentile). A10, clot amplitude at 10 minutes after the beginning of clot formation; CT, clotting time; ER, emergency room; EXTEM, extrinsically activated thromboelastography test; FibTEM, fibrin-based thromboelastometric test; MCF, maximum clot firmness.
