Figure 2 Multiple Logistic Regression Model Odds Ratio Estimates for Any Major Femoral Bleeding Complication

Advanced age, female gender, and renal disease predicted increased risk. Procedural predictors included sheath size, use of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors, closure devices, and intensity/duration of anticoagulation with heparin. The partial odds ratio (OR) point estimates for the risk factors listed on the left are plotted as dots; lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals (CI). BMI = body mass index; BP = blood pressure; MI = myocardial infarction; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.
