Table 3 Comparison of neurological outcomes and complication rates between coagulopathic and non-coagulopathic patients, and between the MTH (32–34 °C) and control (35.5–37 °C) groups with or without coagulopathy
From: Therapeutic hypothermia in patients with coagulopathy following severe traumatic brain injury
