In previous studies, however, venous thrombosis risk prediction using TG assays did not improve after CTI addition. However, it is unknown whether CTI addition could help to detect subtle but relevant nuances in determinants of TG, making the assay more suitable to detect disturbances in the coagulation system. This study\u2019s objective was to assess whether the addition of CTI is associated with a broader contribution of individual coagulation factors to the total amount of thrombin formed in Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT) and Technoclone Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA). Thrombin generation was measured in 326 healthy individuals from THE VTE study at very low tissue factor concentrations, with and without addition of CTI prior to blood sampling. The influence of several coagulation factors on total amount of thrombin formed, i.e. area under the curve (AUC) or endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), was analysed using multiple linear regression with standardisation of all values resulting in Z-scores with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Association between coagulation factors and TG changed minimally after addition of CTI. Largest changes after CTI addition were found for following factors: for CAT: free protein S (from 0.00 (95%CI -0.12 to 0.12) to -0.29 (95%CI -0.43 to -0.15)) and protein S (from -0.05 (95%CI -0.18 to 0.08) to -0.21 (95%CI -0.37 to -0.05)); for TGA: antithrombin (from -0.11 (-0.23 to 0.02) to -0.19 (-0.30 to -0.07)), factor VIII (from 0.15 (0.03 to 0.27) to 0.24 (0.13 to 0.36)) and fibrinogen (from 0.12 (-0.01 to 0.26) to 0.19 (0.06 to 0.32)). In conclusion, there is no clear trend towards a broader contribution of coagulation factors in samples handled with CTI compared with those handled without CTI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0263960","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,25]],"date-time":"2022-02-25T18:53:23Z","timestamp":1645815203000},"page":"e0263960","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The influence of corn trypsin inhibitor on the contribution of coagulation determinants to the Technoclone Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA) and the Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT)"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7993-5209","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carolina E.","family":"Touw","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7805-1508","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ype","family":"de Jong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Astrid","family":"van Hylckama Vlieg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0263960.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"699","DOI":"10.1373\/clinchem.2015.248625","article-title":"Thrombin Generation Assay and Its Application in the Clinical Laboratory","volume":"62","author":"A.
