There was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. In the research flow chart, the control group information was incomplete; the label “(2) 30 non-pregnant women” was missing. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.

Figure 1

Flowchart outlining a research study plan. Data collected from April 2022 to October 2023, with strict screening. Participants include 92 pregnant women at different pregnancy stages and 30 non-pregnant women. TEG parameters (r value, k value, α angle, MA) and coagulation function (PT, APTT, TT, AIB) are analyzed. Changes in these parameters and functions are compared across groups. The evaluation of coagulation in pregnant women uses ROC Curve analysis. Final steps involve data collation, statistical analysis, and drawing conclusions.

Research flow chart. PT, prothrombin time; APTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; TT, thrombin time; FIB, fibrinogen; TEG, thromboelastography; R, reaction time.

There was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. The group naming in the figure was not updated consistently with the final manuscript terminology. The group labels have been corrected to: Control group, First trimester group, Second trimester group, Third trimester group. In addition, in Figure 2A (PT), the control group value was not synchronized with the corrected values in Table 2; this value has now been updated to match the final table. The corrected Figure 2 appears below.

Figure 2

Four bar charts labeled A to D compare values among different groups. Chart A shows PT (S) levels; Chart B shows APTT (S) levels; Chart C shows TT (S) levels; Chart D shows FIB (g/L) levels. Each chart compares the control group with three trimester groups. The first trimester group shows a statistically significant difference compared to the control, noted by an 'a'. Additional annotations, 'b' and 'c', indicate further differences among trimester groups. Error bars represent data variability.

Comparison of four indices of blood coagulation function in different stages of pregnancy and the control group. (A) PT (s); (B) APTT (s); (C) TT (s); (D) FIB (g/L) (compared with the control group, ap < 0.05; compared with the first trimester group, bp < 0.05; compared with the second trimester group, cp < 0.05). PT, prothrombin time; APTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; TT, thrombin time; FIB, fibrinogen.

There was a mistake in Figure 3 as published. The group naming in the figure was not updated consistently with the final manuscript terminology. The group labels have been corrected to: Control group, First trimester group, Second trimester group, Third trimester group. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.

Figure 3

Four line graphs labeled A, B, C, and D compare control, first, second, and third trimester groups. Graph A shows variable R in minutes, graph B shows variable K in minutes, graph C shows variable a in millimeters, and graph D shows variable MA in millimeters. Each graph includes symbols denoting different trimester groups, with annotations indicating statistical significance differences.

Comparison of TEG of pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy and the control group (A) R (min); (B) K (min); (C) α-angle (°); (D) MA (mm) (compared with the control group, ap < 0.05; compared with the first trimester group, bp < 0.05; compared with the second trimester group, cp < 0.05). R, reaction time; K, kinetics time; α-angle, angle of clot formation; MA, maximum amplitude.

There was a mistake in Figure 4 as published. In the legend, the term “United” was used incorrectly and should be corrected to “Combined model” (or “Combined Model”, consistent with the manuscript and Table 4). The corrected Figure 4 appears below.

Figure 4

ROC curve graph displaying sensitivity versus 1-specificity for various tests, each represented by a differently colored line. The legend indicates lines for PT, APTT, TT, FIB, R, K, α, MA, combined model, and reference line.

ROC curve of TEG and coagulation function to evaluate the coagulation function of pregnant women in different periods. PT, prothrombin time; APTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; TT, thrombin time; FIB, fibrinogen; R, reaction time; K, kinetics time; α-angle, angle of clot formation; MA, maximum amplitude.
