title: A statistical analysis of some thromboelastographic parameters in normal subjects.
abstract: Thromboelastographic parameters r, k and am have been statistically evaluated in 777 normal subjects, 506 females and 271 males. The relationship existing among the parameters and their relationship with age have been investigated: r and k resulted to be correlated both in the male and female group. The same was true for k and am. On the contrary, a non-Gaussian distribution was noted together with the lack of correlation with age.
