All percentages are related to the number of patients in subsample 2 (1315 patients); the table shows how many injections an average patients in each NA category missed because of NA; because NA V does not apply to specific thromboprophylaxis days, this information is not given for NA; One patient can belong to more than one NA category; *mean days without LMWH injection. NA = nonadherence; LMWH = low-molecular-weight heparin. AHS = Acute hospital stay; LINK = linking days between acute hospital stay and rehabilitation; INPR = inpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation clinic; OPR = outpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center; NR = no rehabilitation; PRTP = postrehabilitation thromboprophylaxis; NORE = no rehabilitation.
