Reclassification of statin users having no YEARS and D‐dimer ≥ 850 and <1000 ng/mL or statin users having YEARS ≥ 1 and D‐dimer ≥ 425 and <500 ng/mL.

a

Diagnostic failures are defined by venous thromboembolism during follow‐up, VTE‐related death during follow‐up or lost to follow‐up.

b

CTPA (computed‐tomography pulmonary‐angiography) conducted during follow‐up showing no pulmonary embolism.
