Mean (SD) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
r (min) | k (min) | α (deg.) | MA (mm) | |
TEG leading to transfusion (n=62) | 6.85 (3.05) | 2.73 (1.59) | 67.40 (7.47) | 49.12 (12.16) |
TEG that did not lead to transfusion (n=44) | 6.02 (1.94) | 1.90 (0.88) | 71.23 (5.26) | 59.61 (9.41) |
P | 0.116 | 0.002 | 0.004 | < 0.001 |
P-value: significant differences between transfusion and no transfusion groups.
MA indicates maximum amplitude; TEG, thromboelastography
