    Time frame: 20 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Death

    Time to death

    Time frame: 20 months

  2. Survival Rate

    Survival rate

    Time frame: 20 months

  3. Proportion of Patients with Poor Outcome

    Time frame: 20 months

  4. Predictors of Poor Outcome

    Predictors or poor outcome. Potential predictors of poor outcome will be the time from first symptom to admission, the time from first symptom to Prothrombin Complex Concentrate administration, adherence to recommendations regarding proper use of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate, concomitant antiplatelets treatment, medical history or concomitant diseases (cardiac failure, coronary disease, renal failure, diabetes, severe COPD, cancer). For intracranial hemorrhages predictors will include the volume of intracranial hematoma.
