*

Adjusted for age, gender, history of atrial fibrillation, stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, liver disease, alcohol use, venous thromboembolism, and LVEF category. OR indicates odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.

Age was entered into the models as a continuous variable.

Alcohol use as noted in the chart.

§

Reference group for LVEF is “>40% or missing.”
