This study provides pediatric reference intervals and median values for factors II, V, VII, X, fibrinogen, alpha-2-antiplasmin (AP), antithrombin (AT), plasminogen, protein C (PC), and protein S (PS) for children 7 to 17 years of age. All analytes exhibited at least some age dependence in late childhood and adolescence either when compared against adult values or when medians for children were regressed against age.
