Model 1: Conditional logistic regression matched for sex, age, admission date, and hospital.
Model 2: Additionally adjusted for smoking history, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and obesity.
P for trend was calculated by converting each drinking status into continuous variables.
aOR indicates adjusted odds ratio.
