Adverse events with missing treatment associations were classified as related to treatment.

*

Defined as events that were related to study treatment according to the investigator.

One additional death in the 4F-PCC group occurred after study day 45 (day 48; worsening of cardiopulmonary disease).

Thromboembolic adverse events included: six patients (seven events§) in the 4F-PCC group (deep-vein thrombosis [two events], thrombosis, ischaemic stroke [two events], vena cava filter insertion, and catheter-related complication) and seven patients (seven events) in the plasma group (acute myocardial infarction [two events], deep-vein thrombosis, ischaemic stroke [two events], pulmonary embolism, and transient ischaemic attack).

§

One deep-vein thrombosis and one stroke occurred in the same patient. 4F-PCC=four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate. ITT-S=intention-to-treat safety.
