R indicates right; L, left; IJV, internal jugular vein; SCV, subclavian vein; BCV, brachiocephalic vein; and SVC, superior vena cava.

3. Association of CVL body side with thrombosis.
Association of CVL body side with thrombosis. Incidence of VTE in patients with CVL on the left compared with the right side of the body (OR, 2.5; 95% CI ; P = .048).

4. Association of CVL vein location and CVL insertion technique with thrombosis.
Association of CVL vein location and CVL insertion technique with thrombosis. The combination of CVL located in the subclavian vein and inserted percutaneously was associated with an increased incidence of VTE compared with any other combinations (test for interaction, P = .07).
