Table 3. Associations of residual venous obstruction with clinical outcomes.
| Total | Provoked DVT | Unprovoked DVT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recurrent VTE, HR (95% CI) | 1.39 (0.96–2.02) | 1.50 (0.67–3.37) | 1.37 (0.90–2.08) |
| PTS, HR (95% CI) | 1.66 (1.19–2.32) a | 2.16 (1.22–3.83) a | 1.41 (0.93–2.12) |
| Arterial event, HR (95% CI) | 2.07 (1.18–3.65) a | 2.25 (0.82–6.17) | 1.98 (1.01–3.92) a |
| Cancer, HR (95% CI) | 1.26 (0.74–2.17) | 0.86 (0.31–2.40) | 1.48 (0.77–2.82) |
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; DVT, deep vein thrombosis; HR, hazard ratio; PTS, post-thrombotic syndrome; VTE, venous thromboembolism.
Note: Each association was adjusted for duration of anticoagulant therapy. Additionally, recurrent VTE was adjusted for unprovoked DVT, previous VTE, venous insufficiency and hypertension; PTS was adjusted for body mass index, venous insufficiency, iliofemoral DVT and smoking; arterial events were adjusted for hypertension, antiplatelet drug use and smoking; cancer was adjusted for age and hypertension.
