Table 8. Incidence rates of potential COVID-19 associated complications in breakthrough patients.

The columns are: (1) Complications: phenotypes that are written with positive-sentiment in the clinical notes and occur −3 to +30 days relative to COVID diagnosis and do not occur −180 to −4 days relative to COVID diagnosis; (2) Incidence Rate of Complications in mRNA-1273 Breakthrough cases: the number of mRNA-1273-vaccinated individuals experiencing the complication divided by the number of at-risk patient days contributed by mRNA-1273-vaccinated breakthrough cases; (3) Incidence Rate of Complications in BNT162b2 Breakthrough cases: the number of BNT162b2-vaccinated individuals experiencing the complication divided by the number of at-risk patient days contributed by BNT162b2-vaccinated breakthrough cases; (4) IRR mRNA-1273 / BNT162b2: the IR of the complication in the mRNA-1273 breakthrough cohort divided by the IR of the complication in the BNT162b2 breakthrough cohort.
