Note. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) are provided. The “Reference” category indicates the baseline group against which other groups were compared in the logistic regression analysis. p values are derived from logistic regression analysis. Values <0.05 are considered statistically significant. The bold font is intended to highlight the statistically significant p-values; specifically, values are considered statistically significant if the p-value is less than 0.05.
