Comparison of selected laboratory parameters in stroke and TIA patients with and without deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Bars indicate mean values, added lines indicate standard error. *: p < 0.05. CRP: C-reactive protein, LA-specific aPTT: lupus anticoagulant-specific activated partial thromboplastin time. Number of patients in subgroup analyses (DVT/no DVT): max. D-dimer n = 3/n = 52, CRP n = 17/n = 200, leucocyte count n = 17/n = 200, LA-specific aPTT n = 12/n = 117, protein S n = 11/n = 113, and protein C n = 11/n = 114
