Key Points

The study investigates how preoperative heparinization affects postoperative platelet count and ACT levels in open-heart surgery patients.
Retrospective analysis of pre- and postoperative hematological and coagulation data.
Grouping patients based on activated clotting time (ACT) and hematocrit (HCT) levels.
Use of parametric and non-parametric tests to assess intergroup differences.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and logistic regression for predictive evaluation.
No significant differences found in most hematological and coagulation parameters based on ACT and HCT levels.
Only PRE.RDW and POST.PLT showed significant differences according to HCT levels.
POST.CRP was the only parameter that was significant according to ACT levels.
