Percentage of Participants With Composite of Major and Clinically Relevant Non-Major (CRNM) BleedingFrom first dose (Day 1) up to 114 daysBleeding definitions are based on the Perinatal and Paediatric Haemostasis Subcommittee of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria. Major bleeding includes: (i) fatal bleeding; (ii) clinically overt bleeding with a decrease in Hgb of at least 20 g/L (2 g/dL) in 24 hours; (iii) retroperitoneal, pulmonary, intracranial, or central nervous system bleeding; and (iv) bleeding requiring surgical intervention in an operating suite (including interventional radiology). Clinically relevant non-major bleeding includes: (i) overt bleeding requiring a blood product not attributable to the participant's underlying condition; and (ii) bleeding requiring medical or surgical intervention to restore hemostasis, other than in an operating suite.
