Baseline characteristics. SD: standard deviation; SBP : Systolic blood pressure; GCS : Glasgow coma scale; PT (INR): prothrombin time (international normalized ratio); aPTT: activated partial thromboplastin time; CT: clotting time; MCF: maximum clot firmness; ML: maximum lysis; ISS: injury severity score.
