  1. Results are expressed as number (percentage) or as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The results are presented in patients with documented prothombin complex concentrate (PCC) dose and initial international normalized ratio (INR) of at least 2 or unavailable INR (n = 479). aPercentages are calculated on the number of patients with a documented response.
