Event rate=Number of events divided by the number of patients evaluated. Intended treatment period starts on the day of randomization, and for those who received study drug, ends at the later of 2 days after last dose or 14 days after the first dose of study drug; for randomized patients who did not receive study drug, the period ends 14 days after randomization.Venous thromboembolic event (VTE)=nonfatal pulmonary embolism (PE), symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or asymptomatic proximal DVT detected by ultrasound. VTE-related death=fatal PE or sudden death for which VTE could not be excluded as a cause.

Event rate=Number of events divided by the number of patients evaluated. A mandatory bilateral ascending contrast venogram was to be obtained on Day 35 (± 3). Patients with confirmed symptomatic DVT at any time, or asymptomatic DVT upon venography, were to receive treatment for DVT according to the investigator's standard of care. Signs and symptoms suggestive of VTE included, but were not limited to: 1) lower extremity DVT: erythema, warmth, pain, swelling, tenderness; and 2) PE: pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, syncope, light-headedness/dizziness, tachypnea, and tachycardia. Intended Treatment Period started on day of randomization and, for patients who received treatment, ended at the later of 2 days after last dose of study drug or 38 days after the first dose (presurgery) of study drug. For randomized patients who did not receive study drug, the period ended 38 days after randomization.
