International Society Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) definition of a major bleed, and clinically relevant minor bleed. A bleeding event was considered as major if it was fatal, was a symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ (intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular, pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome), or caused a fall in haemoglobin level of ≥2 g/dL (≥1.24 mmol/L), or led to transfusion of ≥2 units of whole blood or red cells. All non major bleeding events were classified as minor bleeds; minor bleeds were subdivided in clinically relevant minor bleeds and not clinically relevant minor bleeds. A CRBE was defined as an acute or subacute clinically overt bleed that did not meet the criteria of a major bleed but either lead to hospital admission and/or a physician guided medical or surgical treatment and/or a change in antithrombotic therapy (including interruption or discontinuation of study drug).
