Physiological variables (n or median [25 th to 75 th percentiles]) of the 54 trauma patients with haemorrhagic shock collected 6 hours (H6) after their arrival at the emergency room
| SOFA improvers | SOFA non-improvers | |

| Temperature (°C) | 36.2 [35.7-36.8] | 35.6 [33.6-36.4]* |
| Urine output (mL/h) | 30 [10-100] | 25 [0-158] |
| Use of vasopressors (n) | 31 | 18 |
| Arterial blood lactate (mmoL/L) | 3.9 [2.5-5.8] | 5.4 [3.0-12]* |
| BE deficit (mmoL/L) | −7.2 [-11.7--4.5] | −11.4 [-17--7]* |

| PRBC (units) | 7 [5-9] | 8 [5-12] |
| FFP (units) | 6 [4-8] | 7 [5-10] |
| Cristalloids (mL) | 2,000 [1,000-3,000] | 1,500 [1,500-2,713] |
| Colloids (mL) | 1,500 [1,500-2,125] | 1,625 [1,500-2,500] |
Patients were separated into two groups according to whether they subsequently improved or not their initial SOFA score (see definition Table 1). *P <0.05 vs SOFA improvers. SBP, systolic blood pressure; CI, cardiac index; BE, base excess; PTT, partial thromboplastin time; PRBCs, packed red blood cells; FFP, fresh frozen plasma; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment.
