  1. Values in median (interquartile range). Values during CVVH are medians of all samples. Postfilter values are actual values, not corrected for hemoconcentration.
  2. aPTT = activated thromboplastin time; CVVH = continuous venovenous hemofiltration; ETP = endogenous thrombin potential; ETPAUC = area under the curve of the thrombin generation curve; ETPCmax = maximal activity of ETP; ETPTlag = ETP lag time = ETPTmax = time to max ETP activity; F1+2 = prothrombin fragment; PTT = prothrombin time; SOFA = Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; TAT = thrombin-antithrombin complexes.
