Table 1 Scores for massive transfusion

TASH score

1. SBP: < 100 mmHg = 4 pts, < 120 mmHg = 1 pt

(0–28 pts, Increasing TASH-scores were associated with an increasing probability for MT requirement)

2. Hb: < 7 g/dl = 8 pts, < 9 g/dl = 6 pts, < 10 g/dl = 4 pts, < 11 g/dl = 3 pts, < 12 g/dl = 2 pts

3. intra-abdominal fluid : 3 pts

4. complex long bone and/or pelvic fractures: AIS 3 or 4 = 3 pts, AIS 5 = 6 pts

5. HR: > 120 bpm = 2 pts

6. BE: < -10 mmol/l = 4 pts, < -6 mmol/l = 3 pts, < -2 mmol/l = 1 pt

7. gender: male = 1 pt

ABC score

1. penetrating mechanism: no = 0 pt, yes = 1 pt

(0–4 pts, a score of 2 or greater was used to predict the need for MT)

2. SBP < 90 mmHg: no = 0 pt, yes = 1 pt

3. HR > 120 bpm: no = 0 pt, yes = 1 pt

4. positive FAST: no = 0 pt, yes = 1 pt
