All values are n (%) or median (IQR).

CAT+, patients requiring more than 3 U of PRBCs within any hour during the first 6 hours.

On-target, patients with a 6-hour ratio >0.75 and who spent ≥40% of their time above this threshold.

Off-target, all other patients not meeting on-target criteria.

IQR, interquartile range.
