Abbreviations, see Table 1. P value, Kruscal-Wallis test. The JAAM and ISTH DIC scores were calculated by using the data obtained immediately after arrival in the emergency department (time point 0 in Figure 3). The amounts of platelet concentrate, packed red blood cells, and fresh frozen plasma indicate the total amount of volume transfused within 24 hours after the arrival in the emergency department.
