Total of 43 patients were enrolled. Four patients withdrew after signing the consent, 2 were not randomized (1 discharged from ICU before randomization occurred, 1 received aspirin per attending prescription, making the patient ineligible for randomization).

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Experimental
Administration of 325mg Aspirin and 20mg of Rosuvastatin mixture in a single capsule daily either orally or via a feeding tube for the duration of the patient's stay in the ICU. Aspirin and Rosuvastatin: Patients assigned to the intervention arm will receive the standard of care anti-coagulation plus the combination experimental drugs (20mg of rosuvastatin daily and 325mg of aspirin) daily either orally or via feeding tube.
Control
Administration of the placebo, which is identical-looking to the Aspirin and Rosuvastatin single capsule mixture, daily either orally or via a feeding tube for the duration of the patient's stay in the ICU. Placebo (for Aspirin and Rosuvastatin): Patients assigned to the control group will receive the standard of care anti-coagulation plus identical-looking placebos either orally or via feeding tube.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During ICU stay at the following timepoints - 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 120 and 168 hours

Population: We were unable to obtain samples at hour 6, as all patients were enrolled after 6 hours postinjury. The percentages below show the percentage of patients in fibrinolysis shutdown, the phenotype associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism events.

Measured by traditional and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) - Challenge thrombelastography (TEG) lysis at 30 minutes (LY30).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 28 days

Population: All patients had this assessment. No missing data.

As measured by ventilator-free days (VFD). VFDs are typically defined as follows (1): VFDs = 0 if subject dies within 28 days of mechanical ventilation. VFDs = 28 - x if successfully liberated from ventilation x days after initiation. VFDs = 0 if the subject is mechanically ventilated for \>28 days.
