Bold indicate statistical significance values.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; NSAID, non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs; OR, odds ratio; PPI, proton pump inhibitor.

a

Adjusted for age, sex and grouped tumor type (colorectal; hepatobiliary and pancreatic; upper gastrointestinal).

b

Non‐resected could be resected at baseline but reflect recurrence during the study period.

c

Risk factors for bleeding defined in the Hokusai VTE Cancer study as: locally advanced or metastatic cancer, brain metastasis, bevacizumab or antiplatelet use, recent surgery.

d

Calculated with the Cockroft and Gault formula.
