Abstract

PURPOSE: Early administration and protocolization of massive hemorrhage protocols (MHP) has been associated with decreases in mortality, multiorgan system failure, and number of blood products used. Various prediction tools have been developed for the initiation of MHP, but no single tool has demonstrated strong prediction with early clinical data. We sought to develop a massive transfusion prediction model using machine learning and early clinical data.
