Multivariable analysis showed that FFP transfusion was associated with increased odds of mortality at 42\u00a0days (odds ratio [OR] 9.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.71\u201023.90). FFP transfusion was also associated with failure to control bleeding at 5\u00a0days (OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.28\u201011.70) and length of stay &gt;7\u00a0days (adjusted OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.03\u20103.42). The independent association of FFP transfusion with mortality at 42\u00a0days persisted when the cohort was restricted to high\u2010risk patients and in patients without active bleeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations and conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fresh frozen plasma transfusion in AVH is independently associated with poor clinical outcomes.
