Multivariable Model Identifying Predictors of Planned IVC Filter Retrieval Among 240 Patients Who Underwent Placement of Retrievable IVC Filters and Were Discharged Alive

Characteristic	Adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval
Age <50 years	2.6 [1.2–5.6]
Indication for IVC filter placement
VTE, anticoagulation contraindicated	Referent
High risk for VTE due to surgery	4.5 [1.4–14.7]
VTE, other	0.3 [0.1–1.2]
Other indication	0.8 [0.2–2.6]
History of cancer	0.2 [0.1–0.5]
History of VTE	2.5 [1.1–5.3]
Not discharged on anticoagulants	0.1 [0.1–0.3]

IVC = inferior vena cava, VTE = venous thromboembolism
