Abbreviations: FFP, fresh frozen plasma; IQR, interquartile range; NC, not calculated; PCC, prothrombin complex concentrate.

aIn the prophylactic cohort, no patients received PCC at a dose below 10 IU/kg.

b P values are for differences between dose groups.

cAdequate effectiveness defined as very good or satisfactory effectiveness in prevention/stopping of bleeding (physician’s judgment).

dTwo missing values ≥20 IU/kg group for PCC only patients, and 1 missing value for 10 to 19.9 IU/kg for PCC and FFP patients.
