CI indicates confidence interval.

Unprovoked indicates unprovoked first venous thrombosis and unprovoked recurrence.

Oral contraceptive indicates first venous thrombosis associated with oral contraceptives or hormonal replacement therapy, unprovoked recurrence.

Adjusted for antithrombin, protein C, and protein S deficiency.
