Table 5 demonstrates the hemodynamic and laboratory characteristics of the cases versus controls. The mean oxygen saturation in the case group was remarkably lower than controls (P-value=0.031); however, the groups’ comparison based on the categorized oxygen saturation revealed an insignificant difference (P-value=0.768).
The laboratory evaluations revealed significant differences between the groups in terms of PMN count, hemoglobin level, platelet count, d-dimer, albumin, and lactate dehydrogenase levels (P-value<0.05). The comparison of troponin level regardless of the thrombotic event type was accompanied by significantly higher levels in the case group (P-value=0.027), but by eliminating those with AMI, the two groups were similar (P-value=0.607).
