Assessment of hemostatic profile in patients with mild to advanced liver cirrhosis

Figure 3 Spearman rank correlation analysis and linear regression line fitting of area under the curve of impedance aggregometric assays. A-C: Scatterplots illustrating the relationship between platelet count and area under the curve (AUC, U) of impedance aggregometric assay: ADP-test (A), ASPI-test (B), TRAP-test (C); D-F: Scatterplots illustrating the relationship between model for end-stage liver disease score and AUC (U) of impedance aggregometric assay: ADP-test (D), ASPI-test (E), TRAP-test (F). Spearman rank correlation coefficients (R²) between model for end-stage liver disease score and AUC of impedance aggregometry with P values are given for each test. The upper and lower reference ranges of AUC are highlighted in the grey area. AUC: Area under the curve; ADP: Adenosine-5 diphosphate; ASPI: Arachidonic acid; TRAP: Thrombin receptor activator peptide 6; MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease.
