Abstract:Background
Kidney disease is regarded as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the association between renal function and the risk of VTE remains unclear.
Methods
This study was conducted using a sample of 358,723 participants from the UK Biobank. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the risk of VTE incidence associated with renal function levels were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model based on the baseline exposure measurements. Additionally, the relationship … Show more
