Predictors of Poor Outcome20 monthsPredictors 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.
