  • a Akaike information criterion = 1455.14; Bayesian information criterion =1504.42.

  • b Adjusted P-value for all the reported variables, obtained from the Wald test using multinomial multivariate logistic regression. CI = confidence interval. DOAC = direct oral anticoagulant. OR = odds ratio.
