Tests for trend showed a 25% decrease in overall use (P < .001), a 33% decrease (P < .001) for pulmonary embolism (PE) alone or with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and a 19% decrease (P < .001) for DVT alone. The line above the bar graphs is based on the overall percentage of patients who received a VCF (right axis).
