Summary

This study tested whether a special blood test (ROTEM) can better guide blood transfusions in people with acute-on-chronic liver failure who are bleeding. 262 participants were randomly assigned to receive transfusions based on either the ROTEM test or standard blood tests. The goal was to see if the ROTEM approach reduces the amount of blood products used, bleeding, and side effects like infections or clots.
