The index date is the first TE event after enrollment in the Registry. Data are based on assessments within 6 months before the TE index date. HDA defined as LDH ratio ≥ 1.5 × ULN, hemoglobin < 10 g/dL, and one of the following symptoms 6 months before and including the index date: abdominal pain, dyspnea, dysphagia, fatigue, hemoglobinuria, or erectile dysfunction. §Assessments based on the entire patient history from PNH diagnosis to index date. Recent is defined as within 6 months before the index date. BMF, bone marrow failure; GPI, glycosylphosphatidylinositol; HDA, high disease activity; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; MAVE, major adverse vascular event; PNH, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria; TE, thromboembolic event; ULN, upper limit of normal
