ADAMTS13 levels in various subgroups. ADAMTS13 median and interquartile range (IQR): all patients: 1.30 ng/ml (0.88 – 3.13); controls: 6.00 (5.55 – 6.50 ng/ml); sepsis: 2.80 (1.00 – 3.85 ng/ml); severe sepsis: 0.90 (0.80 – 1.75 ng/ml); septic shock: 1.00 (0.90 – 1.20 ng/ml). The bold black lines in the boxplot represent the medians. The bottom and top of the box represent the 25th and 75th percentiles respectively (IQR). The lower whisker boundary corresponds to the 25th percentile minus 1.5 times IQR. The upper whisker boundary corresponds to the 75th percentile plus 1.5 times the IQR. Tiny circles represent "outliers" i.e., data values which are 1.5 times IQR larger than the 75th percentile or 1.5 times IQR smaller than the 25 th percentile. Asterisks represent “extreme outliers” i.e., data values greater than 75th percentile plus 3 times IQR
