Once - Daily Oral Direct Factor Xa Inhibitor Rivaroxaban In The Long-Term Prevention Of Recurrent Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism In Patients With Symptomatic Deep-Vein Thrombosis Or Pulmonary Embolism. The Einstein-Extension Study

Percentage of Participants With the Composite Variable Comprising Recurrent DVT, Non-fatal PE and All Cause Mortality Until the Intended End of Study Treatment

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment. Events were assessed based on either compression ultrasound (for DVT), venography (for DVT), spiral computed tomography (CT) scanning (for PE), pulmonary angiography (for PE), ventilation/perfusion lung scan (for PE), or lung scintigraphy (for PE), and/or case summaries.

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With the Composite Variable Comprising Recurrent DVT, Non-fatal PE, All Cause Mortality, Strokes and Myocardial Infarctions Until the Intended End of Study Treatment

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment. Events were assessed based on either compression ultrasound (for DVT), venography (for DVT), spiral computed tomography (CT) scanning (for PE), pulmonary angiography (for PE), ventilation/perfusion lung scan (for PE), lung scintigraphy (for PE), results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries.

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With Net Clinical Benefit as Composite of Recurrent DVT or Non-fatal or Fatal PE and Major Bleeding Events Until the Intended End of Study Treatment

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment, based on either compression ultrasound, venography, spiral computed tomography scanning, pulmonary angiography, ventilation/perfusion lung scan, lung scintigraphy, autopsy or unexplained death for which DVT/PE could not be ruled out, results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries. Major bleeding was overt bleeding associated with 2 g/dL or greater fall in hemoglobin, leading to a transfusion of ≥2 units, occurring in a critical site or contributing to death.

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With Recurrent VTE (PE or DVT) Until the Intended End of Study Treatment

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment. Events were assessed based on either compression ultrasound (for DVT), venography (for DVT), spiral computed tomography (CT) scanning (for PE), pulmonary angiography (for PE), ventilation/perfusion lung scan (for PE), lung scintigraphy (for PE), results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries.

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With Recurrent DVT Until the Intended End of Study Treatment

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment. Events were assessed based on either compression ultrasound, venography, results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries.

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With Major Bleeding

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee (CIAC) blinded to treatment. Major bleeding event was overt bleeding associated with a 2 g/dL or greater fall in hemoglobin, leading to a transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, occurring in a critical site or contributing to death. Treatment-emergent \[after intake of first tablet of study medication as randomized but not more than 2 days after stop of study medication (referred to as time window: 2 days)\] events and all events post randomization were reported.

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With Clinically Relevant Bleeding

All events adjudicated/confirmed by CIAC blinded to treatment. Clinically relevant bleeding included major bleeding (definition: see outcome 7) and non-major bleeding associated with medical intervention, unscheduled physician contact, (temporary) cessation of study treatment, discomfort for the participants such as pain, or impairment of daily life activities. Treatment-emergent events (after intake of 1st study medication tablet as randomized up to 2 days after stop of study medication \['time window: 2 days'\]) and all events post randomization were reported

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With All Death

All events were adjudicated and confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment. Events were assessed based on either autopsy, results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries. Treatment-emergent events and all events post randomization were reported. Treatment-emergent: after intake of first tablet of study medication as randomized but not more than 2 days after stop of study medication (referred to as time window: 2 days)

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period

Percentage of Participants With Other Vascular Events

All pre-defined vascular events (acute coronary syndromes, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, non-central nervous system systemic embolism and vascular death) were adjudicated/confirmed by a central independent adjudication committee blinded to treatment, based on results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries. On treatment events and all events post randomization were reported. On treatment: after intake of first tablet of study medication as randomized but not more than 1 day after stop of study medication (referred to as time window: 1 day)

Time frame: 6- or 12-month study treatment period
