We defined coagulopathy as INR of \u22651.6 based on Youden\u2019s index, with INR as the independent variable and 24-hour survival as the outcome variable. We constructed multivariable logistic regression models with coagulopathy as the outcome variable to test for associations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 13,015 encounters that met inclusion for our primary analysis. Based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, coagulopathy was defined as \u22651.6 (area under the ROC\u2009=\u20090.862). Using this threshold, 999 patients met criteria for coagulopathy. Explosions were the predominate mechanism among both groups (69% among those with coagulopathy vs. 59%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Median composite injury severity scores were 24 (11-33) among those with coagulopathy versus 6 (3-13, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). The body regions most frequently sustaining serious injuries were the head\/neck (29% vs. 9%) and the extremities (47% vs. 22%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Survival was lower at 24 hours (91% vs. 99%) and discharge (83% vs. 99%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). In our adjusted model, serious injuries to the head\/neck (odds ratio [OR] 3.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.05-4.26) and skin (3.88, 2.94-5.11) were most associated with coagulopathy. Prehospital blood administration (OR 1.08, 0.73-1.61) and fluid administration (1.03, 0.77-1.37) were not associated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nearly 1 in 12 casualties within our dataset had evidence of coagulopathy on arrival to deployed MTFs with surgical capabilities.
