Table 5.
Statistically significant differences in the parameter values obtained before (ER) and after TAE between survivors and nonsurvivors (n = 49)
| Survivors | Nonsurvivors | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| n = 35 | n = 14 | ||
| M23/F12 | M6/F8 | ||
| ER SBP w (mmHg) | 83 ± 23 | 63 ± 23 | 0.021 |
| ER pH w | 7.25 ± 0.08 | 7.12 ± 0.16 | 0.008 |
| ER BE w (mmol/l) | −7.91 ± 4.7 | −14.53 ± 7.55 | 0.008 |
| ER platelets w | 100 ± 56 | 57 ± 41 | 0.013 |
| ER PRBC (units) | 9 ± 5.9 | 15 ± 8.5 | 0.030 |
| Post-TAE PRBC (units) | 2 (2–9.5) | 10.5 (5–28.5) | 0.018 |
| Post-TAE platelets | 8 (8–15) | 14 (11–41) | 0.031 |
| Total PBRC (units) | 26.5 (14.5–46.5) | 60.5 (32.8–83.8) | 0.016 |
Results are expressed as the mean ± SD for continuous unskewed parameters and as the median (and interquartiles) for skewed parameters
