The appearance and composition of clots. Macroscopic images of typical retrieved clots classified into pinkish (A), red (B), and dark red (C). Representative clots from patients with ahDM (D) and nonDM (E) were stained using MSB to visualize the RBCs (yellow), fibrin (dark pink to red), WBCs (blue), and platelets (gray). Scale bar (MSB) = 200 μm. F Representation of the histological clot composition of each patient in the cohort as determined by MSB staining. G Violin plots display the differences in clot composition (RBCs, fibrin, platelets, and WBCs) according to ahDM history of DM or absence of DM on admission. ahDM, admission hyperglycemia diabetes mellitus; MSB, Martius scarlet blue; RBC, red blood cell; WBC, white blood cell
