a

There were 1597 patients who met criteria for a primary end point.

b

Patients who met multiple end points were counted only once in the total.

c

When using a mixed model with site as a random effect, the odds ratio was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.52-0.94), confirming a benefit with genotype-guided dosing of warfarin.
