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