Data ID 3509
Factor correlation between female gender and aPC ratio
Description aPC=activated protein C, linear regression model
Biomarker NA
Classification Z (combined factor - combined factor)
Association
Application risk assessment and prognosis
Objective In this report the authors test the hypothesis that hypoxemia is associated with altered sensitivity to activated protein C (aPC) in pediatric patients with congenital heart lesions.
p Value 0.039
Conclusion The aPC ratio in this population is associated with hypoxemia, independent of factors previously observed in adults. Further studies are under way to determine how aPC resistance or sensitivity may independently affect perioperative hemostasis in this population.
