β, beta coefficient; SE, standard error; Wald z, Wald z-statistic; OR (95% CI), odds ratio with 95% confidence interval; AMD, any meniscus damage; MeMD, medial meniscus damage; LaMD, lateral meniscus damage; PaD, any patellar damage; MFCC, medial femoral condyle chondropathy; LFCC, lateral femoral condyle chondropathy; MTPC, medial tibial plateau chondropathy; LTPC, lateral tibial plateau chondropathy. Odds ratios are given with lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval (in parentheses). Marked values (*) denote statistically significant odds ratios (Wald test, ***—p < 0.001, **—p < 0.01, *—p < 0.05).
