| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Qualitative (subjective) effectiveness in bleeding control. Timepoint: After intervention. Method of measurement: Four-point effectiveness scale (Excellent, Good, Intermediate, Poor) scored by patient.;Quantitative (objective) effectiveness in bleeding control. Timepoint: After intervention. Method of measurement: It is scored by physician based on a quantitative scale (0, +1, +2, +3, +4), which is designed according to the different types of bleeding and their own criteria of response to therapy.;Cost-effectiveness in bleeding control. Timepoint: After intervention. Method of measurement: Calculation of incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER). | — |

| Tolerability. Timepoint: On patient's discharge. Method of measurement: 3-point Verbal Rating Scale (Excellent, Satisfactory, Undesirable), by patient (subjectively).;Adverse effect. Timepoint: After intervention to the time of discharge, two weeks after intervention, whenever an adverse event occurs between these two times, or if not possible, the next time when the patient comes for follow-up (two weeks after intervention). Method of measurement: Clinician's diagnosis and determination of its relationship to the concentrate (probably related, possibly related, probably not related, and not related).;Serious adverse effect.
