<p>A method is disclosed for predicting the presence of an abnormal level of one or more proteins in the clotting cascade from at least one time-dependent measurement profile. At least one time-dependent measurement on an unknown sample (103) is performed and a respective property of the sample is measured over time so as to derive a time-dependent measurement profile (101). A set of a plurality of predictor variables (110) are defined which sufficiently define the data of the time-dependent measurement profile (101). A model (113) is then derived that represents the relationship between the abnormality and the set of predictor variables (110). Subsequently, the model (113) is utilized to predict which protein or proteins in the clotting cascade are at an abnormal level, with the prediction (120) being a better prediction than clot time alone.</p> |
