CI confidence interval, DVT deep vein thromboembolism, IBD inflammatory bowel disease, IS ischemic stroke, MI myocardial infarction, PE pulmonary embolism, TE thromboembolic event. The study period was defined as the time from the index date until the earliest of patient death, end of continuous eligibility or end of data availability

aThe adjusted incidence rate ratios controlled for the following: cohort assignment, age at index date, sex (female), baseline comorbidities, baseline non-immune-mediating drugs and baseline TE of interest (yes/no)

bIncidence rate ratios, 95% confidence intervals and p-values were estimated using generalized linear models with a Poisson distribution and a sandwich (robust) variance estimator. An offset was used to account for varying lengths of follow-up time
