Patients who had hyperfibrinolysis received increased blood product transfusions and also had more abnormal conventional coagulation assay values. Differences between groups were identified with the Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables and the χ2 test for categorical variables. Dunn’s multiple comparisons were used for pairwise two-sided multiple comparison analysis.

Cryo, cryoprecipiate.
