“…The following parameters were obtained on ED arrival: patient demographics, use of anticoagulation, and/or antiplatelet drugs, trauma mechanism, vital signs at ED arrival (the Glasgow Coma Scale, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate), results of blood tests (hemoglobin and lactate levels, levels of fibrin degradation products [FDP], D-dimer and fibrinogen, prothrombin time–international normalized ratio [PT–INR]), AIS for each body region, injury severity score (ISS), patterns of pelvic fracture classified by Young and Burgess classification [12], World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) classification [13], angiography for the pelvis, treatment for pelvic fracture (TAE, external fixation, preperitoneal packing, and amount of blood transfusion within 24 h (in Japan, 1 U of packed red blood cells is approximately 140 mL), time course (door to CT time and door to angiography time), and mortalities (24 h and 30 days). With regard to analytic variables, the ratio of FDP to fibrinogen (FDP/fibrinogen) was also calculated, as with our previous study [10]. FDP and D-dimer were measured using an immunoturbidimetric method and using Cs-2000i and Cs-5100 systems (Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan).…”
