Paper Context: This result was driven by a reduction in the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism, the risk of bleeding increasing to a minimal extent. However, this benefit of anticoagulation was lost after anticoagulation was discontinued. Consistently with previous studies [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] 23, 24 evaluating substantially prolonged anticoagulation for secondary prophylaxis after a first episode of unprovoked venous thromboembolism, we observed a high absolute rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism in the placebo group during the 18-month treatment period, with a hazard ratio of 0.15 for risk of such events with warfarin.
