Variable correlations with caval thrombosis or worsening clot
Variables are compared between caval thrombosis vs non-caval
thrombosis and between worsening clot vs non-worsening clot below.
Quantitative variables are summarized by median (inter-quartile range;
IQR) and tested by the Wilcoxon rank sum test; Categorical variables are
summarized by N(%) and tested by the Fisher exact test.
