Abstract:Background: Fetal and neonatal hemostatic systems are dynamic. Coagulation and inhibitors of coagulation factors are progressively synthesized by the fetus which begins after 34 weeks of pregnancy and at the initial hours after birth.

This study aimed to determine differences of antithro… Show more
