# Alpha memo: activated mortality severe endpoint split

**One-sentence alpha:** Receipt 1 reports Survival differences were found between high and low levels of APTT for mortality using 50s as the optimal cut-off; Receipt 2 reports APC treatment did not alter the extent of circulating inflammatory cytokine levels at 3 or 24 hr after endotoxin exposure, so the claim is a bounded population/endpoint split rather than a general effect claim.

**Receipt 1:** Activated partial thromboplastin time predicts mortality in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome: A multicenter study in north China | 2024 | 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31289 | finding: RSF model with variables of APTT, AST, pulse and breath had considerable prognostic effectiveness, which APTT showed the highest prognostic ability with the area under the curve of 0.848 and 0.787 for 7-day and 14-day survival, respectively

**Receipt 2:** Mechanisms for Mortality Reduction by Activated Protein C in Severe Sepsis. | 2006 | 10.1182/blood.v108.11.1.1 | finding: APC treatment did not alter the extent of circulating inflammatory cytokine levels at 3 or 24 hr after endotoxin exposure

**Why this is surprising:** Receipt 1 reports Survival differences were found between high and low levels of APTT for mortality using 50s as the optimal cut-off; Receipt 2 reports APC treatment did not alter the extent of circulating inflammatory cytokine levels at 3 or 24 hr after endotoxin exposure. The bounded signal is a population/endpoint split over `activated, mortality, severe`; it is not a broad efficacy claim.

**Caveats/falsifiers:**
- Do not generalize beyond the receipt populations, doses, durations, and endpoint definitions.
- Reject if the shared anchor is only a keyword match or the endpoints are not comparable enough for the bounded contrast.
- Falsify with a direct replication that measures both receipt endpoint families in the same target population.
