1Day 0 is defined as the calendar day on which DrotAA treatment began; 2this denotes whether or not the investigator considered the bleeding event to be related to DrotAA treatment; 3values reported are those obtained 1 day before the relative onset day of the ICH. Data available only during first 6 days of enrollment in the PROWESS and ENHANCE trials. APACHE II, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II; APTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; BL, baseline; DrotAA, drotrecogin alfa (activated); ICH, intracranial hemorrhage; MD, meningococcal disease; MEN, meningitis; NA, not available; PC, protein C activity; PF, purpura fulminans; PT, prothrombin time; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment.
