| Creatinine, mg/dL | 0.6 (0.5–0.7) | 0.7 (0.6–0.9) | 0.6 (0.5–0.7) | <0.001 |
| C-reactive protein, mg/dL | 0.5 (0.2–0.9) | 0.4 (0.2–0.6) | 0.5 (0.2–1.0) | 0.007 |
| Amount of blood transfusion, units | ||||
| pRBCs within 24 hours | 3.0 (2.0–7.0) | 13.0 (11.0–20.0) | 3.0 (1.0–5.0) | <0.001 |

| Clinical outcome | ||||
| Embolization | 309 (50.5) | 92 (87.6) | 217 (42.8) | <0.001 |
| Hysterectomy | 6 (1.0) | 4 (3.8) | 2 (0.4) | 0.009 |
| Hospital LOS, days | 2.0 (1.0–4.0) | 5.0 (3.0–7.0) | 2.0 (1.0–3.0) | <0.001 |
| ICU admission | 51 (8.3) | 35 (33.3) | 16 (3.2) | <0.001 |
| In-hospital mortality | 5 (0.8) | 5 (4.8) | 0 (0.0) | <0.001 |
| All values are presented as the median (interquartile range) or as numbers (percentages). MT – massive transfusion; INR – international normalized ratio; pRBC – packed red blood cells; FFP – fresh frozen plasma; PC – platelet concentrate; LOS – length of stay; ICU – Intensive Care Unit. | ||||
