Values are Odds Ratios (OR), except the risk of death from IS or COPD, that are HR = Hazard ratios; AMV = assisted mechanical ventilation. The risk values of more than one publication are listed together when they were reported within the same 95% CI (confidence interval). Calculations included cases at all ages, except when marked as pediatric ped which included only ages < 18 yo. All other abbreviations are as in Table 1.
