The APC levels in DIC (bottom) and in ACOTS (top). DIC (ISTH), those simultaneously met both JAAM DIC and ISTH overt DIC criteria; DIC, those met only JAAM DIC criteria; Non-DIC, they did not meet DIC criteria. The numbers of patients are as follows: control (n = 8), DIC (ISTH) (n = 9), DIC (n = 21), non-DIC (n = 27), ACOTS (n = 18), and non-ACOTS (n = 39). Horizontal bars in the box indicate the median (middle) and interquartile ranges (upper 25%, lower 75%). Top and bottom bars indicate the maximum and minimum values, respectively. Black squares are mean values. ^† p < 0.05 vs. control subjects; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. non-DIC patients or non-ACOTS patients, respectively
