Relative risk of future venous thrombosis based on quintiles of D-dimer concentration: the LITE study. Dark bars represent age-adjusted relative risk, shaded bars represented models adjusted for age, sex, race and body-mass index. Open bars are models further adjusted for factor V Leiden, prothrombin 20210A and elevated factor VIII.3 This research was originally published in Blood.
