Normally distributed variables are presented as the mean ± SD and were compared using t-tests. Non-normally distributed variables are presented as the median and interquartile range and were compared using nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis tests. The Graeb score was used to assess the severity of hemorrhage. ^aP < 0.05. GCS: Glasgow coma scale.
