Low HERDOO2 risk, ≤1 HERDOO2 criteria (hyperpigmentation, edema, or redness [HER] in either leg; D-dimer level ≥ 250 μg/L; obesity with body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2; or older age, ≥ 65 years).

AC, anticoagulation; D/C, discontinued; HR, hazard ratio; RR, relative risk.

First quartile (14-47 years) vs fourth quartile (>72 years).
