Data are shown as mean ± SD or number (%). OR refers to odds ratio from univariate logistic regression analyses for pulmonary embolism (PE); OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; CHF, congestive heart failure; MI, myocardial infarction; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease.
a
Family history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or PE.
b
