  1. Data are presented as median and interquartile range or as mean ± standard deviation. Groups were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; MT, massive transfusion; n, number of patients; non-MT, non-massive transfusion; RBC, red blood cell concentrate.
