Ordinal regression for primary outcome (treatment approach); multivariable analysis for binary secondary outcomes (clinical deterioration and major bleeding). Note. NA = not applicable, PE = pulmonary embolism. The number of observations is less than the study sample size due to missing data for some patients.
