Data are presented as median (IQR). Before trauma and before termination, samples were measured for different parameters.

ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BE, base excess; CFt, clot formation time; CT, clotting time; Hb, hemoglobin; Li30, lysis index, 30 minutes; MCF, maximum clot firmness; pCO2, partial arterial carbon dioxide pressure.

Bonferroni-adjusted *P < .05 compared with crystalloid, **P < .05 compared with plasma, and ***P < .05 compared with crystalloid + rhADAMTS13.
