aAll models adjusted for atherosclerosis, kidney disease, and sex. Hazard ratios compared the risk of a VTE in the 12 months after diagnosis for those with versus without a recent history of the specific VTE of interest. Results from SEER-Medicare Data (1991–2003).

bDVT = Deep Vein Thrombosis; PE = Pulmonary Embolism; OTE = Other thromboembolic event. OTE category includes the following diagnoses: central retinal vein occlusion, venous tributary (branch) occlusion, Nonpyogenic thrombosis of intracranial venous sinus, phlebitis/thrombophlebitis of superficial vessels of lower extremities, phlebitis/thrombophlebitis of superficial veins of upper extremities, phlebitis/thrombophlebitis of other sites, gout with other specified manifestations, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and venous embolism/thrombosis of renal vein.
