  1. a Variables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include: Age, Allergic to one or more drug, Hypertension, CKD, and history of GI Bleeding. Using Backward LR method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.907
  2. bVariables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include: Smoker, Indication of anticoagulant, the anticoagulant prescribed, and Heart Failure as a past medical history.  Using ENTER method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.952.
  3. c Variables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include: Age, Weight, Smoker, and Indication of anticoagulants. Using Backward LR method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.404
  4. d Variables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include:Age, History of Bleeding, Hypertension as a medical history, Indication for anticoagulants, and HASBLED score. Using Backward LR method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.647.
  5. e Variables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include: BMI, Gender, Indication of anticoagulant, and history of bleeding. Using Backward LR method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.435.
  6. f Variables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include: Allergic to one or more drug, Antiplatelet use upon admission, Cancer, and HASBLED score. Using Backward LR method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.408.
  7. g Variables with a p-value of 0.2 or less in the bivariate analysis were included in the initial model. Those include: History of Allergy, Hypertension as a medical history, History of bleeding, and HASBLED score of more than 3. Using Backward LR method, the model finally retained the variables shown in this table. Hosmer and Lemshow test for sample adequacy p-value: 0.721.
