NPCR (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), lower platelet adhesion rates (p < 0.001, p < 0.001) and a more prolonged bleeding time (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) than the other groups. The patients in the high-BMI group had a lower NPCR than the normal-BMI group (p < 0.01), and their ADP-, epi-nephrine, ristocetin- and collagen-stimulated mean percent platelet aggregation values were higher than those of the low-BMI group (p < 0.01, p < 0.0001, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively) and than those of the normal-BMI group for only epinephrine, ristocetin and collagen (p < 0.001, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively). In low-BMI patients, ADPand epinephrine-stimulated percent aggregation values were lower than those of the nor-mal
