MIF and deep vein thrombosis: As shown in the Table 3, in the multivariate models comparing Q2-Q4 against the Q1 of MIF levels, MIF in Q3 and Q4 was related with later developed DVT, and the risk of DVT was increased by 210% (OR adjusted: 3.10[1.05–9.33]; P=0.043) and 376% (4.76[2.55–11.75]; P<0.001), respectively.
