  1. Data are presented as median (interquartile range) or number (percentage of patients). p-values are derived from the ANOVA or chi-square test; significance level p < 0.05.
  2. *All types of intervention and damage control (e.g. orthopaedic surgery).
  3. BD, base deficit; BP, blood pressure; ISS, injury severity score; NISS, new injury severity score; GCS, Glasgow coma scale.
  4. FC group, patients receiving fibrinogen concentrate only; FC–PCC group, patients receiving fibrinogen concentrate and prothrombin complex concentrate; FC–PCC–FFP group, patients receiving fibrinogen concentrate, prothrombin complex concentrate and fresh frozen plasma.
