*Assume outcomes of bleeding events for aspirin-treated patients are the same as for untreated patients

GOS — Glascow Outcomes Score at 3 months

Assume same distribution of neurological outcomes in survivors as in anticoagulated patients with subdural hematoma

§Assume Q = 0 for duration of hospitalization; length of stay (LOS) for gastrointestinal hemorrhage (DRG 174) =4.9 days

LOS for specific cerebrovascular disorders except transient ischemic attack (DRG 14) =6.4 days
