NOTE. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression was performed in the combined age group (n = 521). The reduced model is presented here (n = 523). Age and sex were retained in the final model despite not being statistically associated with the outcome. aReference category in regression model.
