a
AHR adjusted hazard ratio, CI confidence interval. Schöenfeld test for final model for men = 2.12; degree of freedom = 5; P = 0.833
b
In addition to variables listed, model is adjusted for missingness in anticipated partner response. Schöenfeld test for final model for women = 3.92; degree of freedom = 5; P = 0.561
