aThe initial 1,758 patients treated in 2021 (and previously reported in the MANIFEST-PF survey) are excluded from this analysis.

bOne patient requiring surgical intervention for tamponade subsequently died and is thus counted in both categories.

cPersistent injury is defined as being present after hospital discharge, while transient injury is defined as having recovered by the time of discharge.

Overall major and minor event rates have been highlighted in bold.
