  1. The predicted mortality was calculated according to the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS). Patients with no AKI or AKI stage R were compared with patients with AKI stage I or F. All data are described as mean ± SD or median [Q1-Q3]
  2. AIS abbreviated injury score, AP arterial pressure, DAP diastolic arterial pressure, FFP fresh-frozen plasma, GCS Glasgow Coma Scale, HR heart rate, ICU Intensive care unit, ISS injury severity score, MVA motor vehicle accident, RBC red blood cells, SAP systolic arterial pressure, SAPS Simplified Acute Physiology Score, SD standard deviation, SOFA sequential organ failure assessment score, SpO2 pulse oximeter oxygen saturation, U units of blood products
