aTime-dependent variables.

bImmunomodulator includes azathioprine or methotrexate.

cIncludes Crohn’s-related fistula or stricture. See Supplementary Table S1 for list of codes used.

dIncludes IBD-related surgery, all-cause emergency department (ED) visits, and all-cause hospitalizations in the baseline period. See Supplementary Table S1 for list of codes used.
