  1. Values are presented as mean (±SD) or median (IQR - Interquartile Range) when appropriate. ISS, injury severity score; AIS, abbreviated injury scale; INR, international normalized ratio; RBC/hr, units of red blood cells per hour in the first 6 hrs of admission; Statistical significance was set at p<0.05
