a
Unadjusted comparisons of DQs between cohorts by t-test, percent delay by Fisher’s exact test; adjusted analyses by regression as described.
b
This material appears as originally published in Tang et al. (2008).
c
Unadjusted, p = 0.033; adjusted, p = 0.017.
d
Unadjusted, p = 0.064; adjusted, p = 0.033.
e
Unadjusted NS (not significant); it is not appropriate to use logistic regression due to small cell count.
