    Toe brachial index (TBI) is the ratio between the toe pressure and the higher brachial pressure, used for diagnosing PAOD when the ABI cannot be used:

    Normal: >0.7 Mild: 0.5-0.7 Moderate: 0.35-0.5 Moderate-Severe: <0.35 and toe pressure 40 mmHg Severe: <0.35 and toe pressure < 30 mmHg

    Participants with TIMI major bleeding event. If no event, censoring occurs at the minimum of (last endpoint assessment date, death date, 7 days after last dose of study drug)
