Data are shown as n (%) for categorical variables and median (interquartile range) for continuous variables. Definition of abbreviations: ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome, SBP systolic blood pressure, ED emergency department, ICU intensive care unit, RBC red blood cell, FFP fresh frozen plasma. aMissing data for PETROS cohort: race (n = 4); hypertension [4]; diabetes [3]; coronary heart disease [3]; congestive heart failure [2]; chronic kidney disease [1]; chronic lung disease [1]; chronic alcohol abuse [5]; smoking history [17]; shock prior to ICU admission [1]; crystalloid [4]. bIn PETROS cohort, Asian (n = 9), North American Indian/Alaskan Native (n = 2), and Unknown (n = 2); in MESSI cohort, Asian (n = 1) and unknown (n = 5). cIncludes patients with end-stage renal disease (MESSI n = 9, PETROS n = 1). dMissing data for MESSI cohort: chronic alcohol abuse (n = 19); smoking history [18]; crystalloid [2]. eShock defined as need for vasopressors or mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg (MESSI) or systolic arterial pressure < 90 mmHg (PETROS). fAdministered during the first 24 h after ED presentation (MESSI) or prior to ICU arrival (PETROS). gThe calendar day of and the day after presentation. hEach platelet dose at our institution is roughly equivalent to 4 single-donor platelet units or 6 pooled platelet units. iAKI numbers exclude patients with end-stage renal disease
