*All ORs are derived from the final multiple logistic models containing age, sex, 30-day anxiety, and diagnosed depression. Bolded ORs are statistically significant at P < 0.05. 30-day anxiety is unavailable due to the use of short WHS questionnaire; ORs are adjusted for age and sex. §Missing >25% of data.
