From: The use of activated partial thromboplastin time versus antifactor Xa assay in monitoring continuous unfractionated heparin infusion therapy in obstetric intensive care unit

Time	Group P (n = 50)	Group X (n = 50)	p value
After 12 h	20,072 ± 5364	17,068 ± 2580	0.0006*
After 24 h	32,684 ± 9528	27,604 ± 6672	0.0026*
