Crystalloids, blood component delivery, and blood component ratios at resuscitation(with univariate analysis of ALI risk. Definition of abbreviations: OR = Odds Ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; PRBC = Packed Red Blood Cells; FFP = Fresh Frozen Plasma. Categorical data are expressed as number and percentages, while continuous data are expressed as Median with Interquartile Range (IQR).
