*

Earliest date from date of disease onset, sample date, diagnosis date, or date of report to the communicable disease surveillance system SmiNet (Public Health Agency of Sweden).

Event (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pregnancy related thrombosis, or bleeding) occurred between 1987 and day 0 (date of covid-19 or index date) for participants with covid-19 and between 1997 and day 0 for control participants.
