The associations between exposures (CRS or NP) and thrombotic outcomes remained robust across multiple sensitivity settings. (A) Follow-up truncated at 10 years; (B) 5-year landmark analysis; (C) additional adjustment for baseline corticosteroid use; (D) exclusion of participants with a history of cancer; (E) mutually exclusive diagnoses (CRSwNP and CRSsNP) as exposures; (F) hospital-inpatient main diagnosis as outcomes. Figure S2: Stratified analyses of exposures (CRS or NP) with DVT risk according to Townsend index, asthma, PRS for VTE, and blood eosinophil count. Figure S3: MR analyses evaluating causal effects of self-reported NP and NP surgery on DVT and inpatient-diagnosed thrombophlebitis (I80, I80.2) using the IVW method. Table S1: Participants' characteristics stratified by the presence of CRS and NP at baseline. Table S2: Risk of systemic diseases among individuals with chronic rhinosinusitis or nasal polyps.
