vWf: adjusted for amount of intracisternal blood, signs of acute ischaemia, loss of consciousness at the time of aneurysm rupture, day of blood sampling.

VWf propeptide: adjusted for amount of intracisternal blood, amount of intraventricular blood, day of blood sampling.

ED1fn: adjusted for amount of intracisternal blood, amount of intraventricular blood, day of blood sampling, loss of consciousness a the time of aneurysm rupture.

ICAM‐1: adjusted for amount of intracisternal blood, loss of consciousness a the time of aneurysm rupture, day of blood sampling.

sP‐selectin: adjusted for amount of intracisternal blood, amount of intraventricular blood, signs of acute ischaemia, loss of consciousness at the time of aneurysm rupture, day of blood sampling.

sE‐selectin: adjusted for amount of intracisternal blood, amount of intraventricular blood, signs of acute ischaemia, loss of consciousness at the time of aneurysm rupture, day of blood sampling.

CI, confidence interval; DCI, delayed cerebral ischaemia; HR, hazard ratio; vWf, von Willebrand factor.
