Extract doi (digital object identifier) from text

I have a text block, and thousands more, that contains references to some studies. One of the samples looks as:

txt = '<div>1. <em>Nationella riktlinjer för rörelseorganens sjukdomar</em> (Swedish National Guidelines). 2012, The National Board of Health and Welfare. doi:10.1097/BRS.0b013e31829ff095 https://www.socialstyrelsen.se/publikationer2012/2012-5-1</a></div><div>2.

The text contains several links and keys to doi. How can I get all of those, perhaps in a list such as

['doi:10.1097/BRS.0b013e31829ff095',
'https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.arth.2005.04.023',
'https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.arth.2005.04.023',
'https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13018-017-0552-9',
]

I have looked up for several regular expressions for the same but to no avail. Such as:

import re
exp = "10.\\d{4,9}/[-._;()/:a-z0-9A-Z]+"
pattern = re.compile(exp)

pattern.findall(txt)

This returns an empty list.

Thanks to @wiktor-stribiżew, I got it working.

exp = "10.\\d{4,9}/[-._;()/:a-z0-9A-Z]+"
pattern = re.compile(exp)
 
print( pattern.findall(txt) )

['10.1097/BRS.0b013e31829ff095', '10.1016/j.arth.2005.04.023', '10.1016/j.arth.2005.04.023', '10.1186/s13018-017-0552-9', '10.1186/s13018-017-0552-9']
