  2. a The reference was mid- or high- SES
  3. b Primary treatments refers to the first cancer treatments
  4. c) The reference was no treatment. In patients that received no treatment, the incidence of VTE after diagnosis of endometrial cancer was evaluated
  5. d Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by laparotomy or laparoscopy was considered as surgery
  6. e The data were adjusted for all risk factors (age per 5 years, SES, CCI, year of endometrial cancer diagnosis, and types of primary treatment)
