Data from one patient was missing for the physical neglect scale (N = 229).
OR = Odds ratio comparing lifetime rates of Axis II personality disorders in bariatric surgery candidates with and without a specific form of childhood maltreatment. Odds ratios are adjusted for baseline BMI.
CI = Confidence interval.
