Values are from Cox proportional hazard models stratified on age, history of VTE and randomization arms in the HT and DM trial

2

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.

3

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.
