Text: Analysis of data for the 117 blunt trauma patients who survived at least 48 hours after receiving study treatment shows that, in addition to reducing RBC requirement, rFVIIa significantly reduced the need for massive transfusion over 48 hours (> 20 RBC units) (relative risk reduction of 56 % [95 % confidence interval : 9 % -79 %] ; p = 0. 03), and the fresh-frozen plasma (p = 0. 036), platelet (p = 0. 023), and cryoprecipitate (p = 0. 053) requirements within 48 hours, and was associated with a significant reduction in the 30-day risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (p = 0. 05) and multiple organ failure and/or ARDS (p = 0. 05).
