Statistical analysis of Group A (patients from ED) versus Group B (patients from ICU). Statistical analysis of Group A (patients from ED) versus Group C (patients from other inpatient units). ¶Higher score indicates more severe disease. §Total patients (N = 649) after removing 59 patients who died prior to discharge, from ED = 167, from ICU = 232, and from inpatient units = 250. #Denotes the total blood products administered to the entire patient population, not the number of blood products per patient. ##Patients’ HLOS was categorized based on the following criteria: Short HLOS: ≤5 days. Medium HLOS: >5 days to ≤12 days. Long HLOS: >12 days. Bold cells indicate statistically significant variables (). ED: emergency department; EGS: emergency general surgery; EBL: estimated blood loss; FFP: fresh frozen plasma; HLOS: hospital length of stay; ICU: intensive care unit; IQR: interquartile range; mL: milliliters; mmol/L: millimoles per liter; NA: not applicable; pRBCs: packed red blood cells; SOFA: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; SD: standard deviation; K/mcL: thousands of cells per microliter of blood; and WBC: white blood cell. |
