Table 2 Results of coagulation parameters for each group of patients: prethrombotic biomarkers, and in vitro thrombin generation. Data are presented as median (min-max). The p-values of Mann-Whitney tests were considered significant when lower than 0.05 (marked as bold italic fonts). FM: fibrin monomers, PPL: procoagulant phospholipids, TG: thrombin generation, ETP: endogenous thrombin potential
