Association of Initial Vital Signs and SmO2 With 24‐Hour RBC Transfusion Volume ≥ 3 Units

Median (IQR) for Patients With 24‐Hour RBC Volume < 3 Units (n = 464) Median (IQR) for Patients With 24‐Hour RBC Volume ≥ 3 Units (n = 23) ROC AUCs (95% CIs)
HR (beats/min) 83 (70–96) 99 (82–119) 0.70 (0.56–0.81)
sBP (mm Hg) 141 (127–158) 136 (96–147) 0.62 (0.47–0.75)
PP (mm Hg) 61 (50–73) 48 (33–63) 0.68 (0.54–0.80)
SI ([beats/min]/[mm Hg]) 0.59 (0.49–0.70) 0.80 (0.63–0.94) 0.75 (0.61–0.85)
SmO2 (%) 67 (62–72) 61 (50–64) 0.76 (0.65–0.84)

HR = heart rate; IQR = interquartile range; PP = pulse pressure (= sBP – diastolic blood pressure); RBC = packed red blood cells; ROC AUC = area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; sBP = systolic blood pressure; SI = shock index (= HR/sBP); SmO2 = muscle oxygen saturation.
