1: The test kits the investigators will be using to measure the primary outcome sTM (Human sCD141 ELISA kit, Nordic Biosite) have an interassay standard variation of 0.58 ng/ml. In order to be certain that measured changes in sTM concentration are not a result of interassay standard deviation, the investigators have set the mimimum relevant difference in sTM to 3 x the interassay standard variation, thus 1.75 ng/ml.
