Categorical variables are reported in terms of frequency (percentage). N – normal; CP – coagulopathic; EBL – estimated blood loss; RBC – red blood cells; FFP – fresh frozen plasma; Cryo – cryoprecipitate; PLT – platelets; PCC – prothrombin complex concentrate, TXA – tranexamic acid; BLP – blood product. | |||||||||
