News Finding: During the 42-month entire study period (including the study treatment and follow-up periods), the composite outcome occurred in 33 patients (21 percent) in the warfarin group and in 42 (24 percent) in the placebo group.
Paper Finding: During the 42-month entire study period (including the study treatment and follow-up periods), the composite outcome occurred in 33 patients (20.8%) in the warfarin group and in 42 (24.0%) in the placebo group (HR, 0.75; 95% CI,).
News Context: This benefit of anticoagulation was lost after anticoagulation was discontinued. During the 42-month entire study period (including the study treatment and follow-up periods), the composite outcome occurred in 33 patients (21 percent) in the warfarin group and in 42 (24 percent) in the placebo group. Rates of recurrent venous thromboembolism, major bleeding, and unrelated death did not differ between groups.
Paper Context: Recurrent venous thromboembolism occurred in 3 patients in the warfarin group and 25 patients in the placebo group (HR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.05-0.43); major bleeding occurred in 4 patients in the warfarin group and in 1 patient in the placebo group (HR, 3.96; 95% CI, 0.44 to 35.89). During the 42-month entire study period (including the study treatment and follow-up periods), the composite outcome occurred in 33 patients (20.8%) in the warfarin group and in 42 (24.0%) in the placebo group (HR, 0.75; 95% CI,). Rates of recurrent venous thromboembolism, major bleeding, and unrelated death did not differ between groups.
