Values are from Cox proportional hazard models stratified on age, history of VTE and randomization arms in the HT and DM trial
Some participants had both a deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism, simultaneously or at different times. As a result, the addition of the number of events in the analyses for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is greater than the number of events for the analysis of venous thrombosis.
Defined as secondary if procedure/related, within 3 months of a fracture or an inpatient hospitalization, with a history of cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) or with current use of oral HT.
