Adjusted for all other variables in this Table and Table 2 and matched for year, practice, and sex.

b

Sequential population attributable fractions: The estimates in each row are calculated separately conditional on all the other variables in the model. They should therefore not be interpreted as summing over the column to 100%. Sequential PAF estimates the additional proportion of nonvariceal bleeding cases attributable to each risk factor after cases attributable to all the other risk factors in the model have been removed.
