Comparison of outcome measures between the groups (n = 25)

Outcomes	Case (n = 12)	Control (n = 13)	P-value
Mortality rate, N (%)	3(25%)	9(69.2%)	0.027
Surgical procedures (Median, IQR)	3 (2–5)	1 (0–2)	0.002
Packed RBC (Median, IQR)	7 (4–13)	2 (0–8)	0.046
Survivors’ HLOS (Mean, SD)*	36.67 (16.66)	18.75 (18.25)	0.109
Survivors’ ICU-LOS (Mean, SD)*	28 (16.80)	9 (4.83)	0.011

SD, Standard Deviation; RBC, Red Blood Cell; ICU, Intensive Care Unit; IQR, Inter-Quartile Range; HLOS, Hospital Length of Stay; ICU-LOS, Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay

*the mean of HLOS and ICU-LOS was calculated among survivors of the Case (9 patients) and the Control group (4 patients)
