New Thrombotic Events in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Elevated Factor VIII

Table 2

Occurrence of new thrombotic events in patients with and without elevated FVIII.

	Normal Factor VIII; (0.50–1.50 IU/mL); = 95	Elevated Factor VIII; (>1.50 IU/mL); = 203	value
Any new thrombotic event, %	8 (8.4%)	38 (18.7%)	0.0218
MI, %	1 (1.1%)	4 (2.0%)	0.3395
DVT/PE, %	1 (1.1%)	9 (4.6%)	0.0949
New AIS, %	1 (1.1%)	5 (2.5%)	0.2809
Progressive stroke, %	8 (8.4%)	22 (10.8%)	0.5183
In-hospital death, %	0	5 (2.5%)	0.1444

MI indicates myocardial infarction; DVT/PE, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism; AIS, acute ischemic stroke. Some patients experienced more than one thrombotic event; therefore, the number of patients with any new thrombotic event is not equal to the sum of individual thrombotic events.
