Figure Lengend Snippet: CT INTEM (clotting time) and ROC analysis for mortality ( left graph ). Box and whisker plot with the 10th and 90th percentiles ( right graph ). Solid line in the box: median values of CT INTEM . The plus symbol in the box: mean values of CT INTEM . Blue line : optimal threshold for CT INTEM in prediction of 30-day mortality. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were constructed (C-statistic) to evaluate the predictive power of CT INTEM for 30-day mortality. AUC area-under-the-curve. The Youden Index was used to calculate optimal threshold for CT INTEM in prediction of 30-day mortality. Data were collected in real-time by the attending physician or nurse in parallel to the patient treatment. Each patient was considered only once. If more than one Rotem (rotational thromboelastometry) analysis was done in one patient, only the first Rotem analysis was considered

Article Snippet: Die C‐Statistik zeigte, dass CT INTEM (C-Statistik = 0,62, optimaler Schwellenwert > 226 s) prädiktiv für die 30-Tage-Sterblichkeit war.
