Group Characteristics Between Survivors and Nonsurvivors

	Survivor (n = 9)	Nonsurvivor (n = 4)	P
Male	8	3	1.0
ISS	19.8 ± 1.1	24 ± 5.1	0.27
Worst base deficit*	4.4 ± 0.64	8.49 ± 3.45	0.11
Blunt trauma	7	3	1.0
Traumatic brain injury	6	1	0.27
Burn	1	1	1.0
Blood products*	3.89 ± 2.3	18.75 ± 14.9	0.17

No statistically significant differences were noted in gender, injury severity, worst base deficit, mechanism, presence of traumatic brain injury, transfusion requirement, or presence of SIRS. Transfusion requirements are described as total units of transfused products, all types; no statistically significant differences were noted when analyzed by individual product types (not shown). P values determined by unpaired t test or Fisher exact test as appropriate for variable type.

Blood products include packed red blood cells, platelets, and fresh frozen plasma.
