Abstract
In the context of GEMINI, a multivariable analysis has been performed to evaluate the association between some potential risk factors and the occurrence of VTE in the study population. As specified in Table 1, previous VTE and bed resting were significantly associated with the risk of VTE, while a trend for increased risk was documented in cancer patients, in the case of recent surgery, and for obesity. Chronic heart failure and obstructive pulmonary disease appeared inversely related to occurrence of VTE, while a very low number or no VTE events occurred in patients with myocardial infarction and inflammatory bowel disease, so determining extremely wide confidence intervals for odds ratios.
