Entries marked in bold typeface denote a p-value under 0.05, which is universally acknowledged as reaching the threshold for statistical significance.
Regarding the odds ratios, they have been adjusted in the context of multivariate analyses. The adjustment includes those variables which, upon univariate analysis, showed a significance level of p < 0.1 and were also deemed to bear clinical relevance, thus warranting their inclusion in the multivariate analyses.
