A. Predictors for using parenteral anticoagulation for ≥5 days (n = 750).

<p>Abbreviations: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; BMI = body mass index; VTE = venous thromboembolism; PE = pulmonary embolism. A. a) Adjusted for all baseline characteristics shown in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0100164#pone-0100164-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a> as a fixed effect and for study site as a random effect. A selection of variables is displayed in the figures to improve legibility i.e. age, sex and all variables with statistical significant numbers. <b>B. Predictors for starting oral anticoagulation on the first treatment day (n = 750). C. Predictors for continuing parenteral anticoagulation until an international normalized ratio of ≥2 for 24 hours (n = 750).</b>
