(1) The results in Table 3 are exponentiated coefficients. The interpretation for 0.517 in Table 1 model 1 is: Pr(C=2|female)/Pr(C=1|female)=0.52×Pr(C=2|male)/Pr(C=1|male).

(2) The model only includes 2 v. 1, 3 v. 1 parts. The 3 v. 2 results were calculated after fitting the models.

(3) Male is the reference group for gender.

(4) The number of subjects in the various models changes depending upon the subjects, with available clinical data for the variables entered into the model.
