Notes: Model 1: crude values; Model 2: values adjusted by age and sex; Model 3: values adjusted by age, sex, hip femur fracture, congestive heart failure, hospitalization in the previous year, the Short Physical Performance Battery score, and modified FICSIT balance score. VTE = venous thromboembolism; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; FICSIT = Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques.
