Data are n/N (%); mean (SD); median (IQR) participants, unless otherwise specified. Key secondary outcomes are reported here; all secondary outcomes are reported in the appendix (p 102). IDS=intervention delivery site. INR=International normalised ratio. ED=emergency department. LyoPlas=lyophilised plasma. PRBC=packed red blood cells.

*

Output is from a log-binomial regression model adjusted for IDS. Values of risk ratio of less than 1 indicate lower event rates in the PRBC–LyoPlas group.

Output is from a binomial regression model with identity link adjusted for IDS. Values of absolute risk difference of less than 0 indicates lower event rates in the PRBC–LyoPlas group.

Output is a from linear regression model adjusted for IDS. Values of mean differences of less than 0 indicate lower average values the PRBC–LyoPlas group.

§

Output is from a linear regression model adjusted for IDS and the on scene value of the outcome variable. Values of mean differences <0 indicate lower average values in PRBC–LyoPlas group.
