  1. *Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare continuous variables and chi-square test for categorical variables. Data reported as †Median (Interquartile range) ‡Mean (Standard deviation) for continuous variables and count (%) for categorical variables.
  2. ICU Intensive care unit.
  3. ∆Cr Creatinine rise.
  4. PPF Plasma protein fraction (Human).
  5. PRBC Packed red blood cells.
  6. FFP Fresh frozen plasma.
