Logistic regression analysis for risk of venous thromboembolism in 1:2 propensity-matched patients with severe pancreas/duodenal injury undergoing exploratory laparotomy and trauma pancreaticoduodenectomy versus exploratory laparotomy alone
| Risk factor | OR | CI | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mortality | 0.62 | 0.25–1.55 | 0.304 |
| Major complicationsa | 3.44 | 1.44–8.18 | 0.005 |
| Venous thromboembolismb | 4.86 | 1.35–17.47 | 0.015 |
aDefined by acute respiratory distress syndrome, unplanned intensive care unit admission, pneumonia, cerebrovascular accident, acute kidney injury
bAdjusted for inferior vena cava and hepatic vein injury
