Inf, infinitive means >4 at sofa score. mathematical correct is infinitive if it is >4. Binary data are presented as no./total no. (%) and continuous data as medians (IQR). Estimates are odds ratios for binary variables and estimated median differences for continuous variables. Differences between patients without and with platelet transfusion assessed by Fisher’s Exact Test for binary variables and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for continuous variables. PC, Platelet Concentrate; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score.
