(A) D-dimer values on admission in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease. Data are expressed as median value, interquartile range, and absolute range. P = 0.011, analysis of variance. ∗ P′< , subgroup analysis Group A versus Group C. (B) Receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve for D-dimer values as a predictor of major surgery. Area under ROC curve (AUC) = 69.7% of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease. Each rhombus corresponds to a definite D-dimer value (expressed as ng/ml).
