Reverse shock index multiplied by Glasgow coma scale as a predictor of massive transfusion in trauma

Previous studies have identified that the reverse shock index multiplied by the Glasgow Coma Scale score (rSIG) is a good predictor of mortality in trauma patients. However, it is unknown if rSIG has utility as a predictor for massive transfusion (MT) in trauma patients. The present study evaluated the ability of rSIG to predict MT in trauma patients.
