1Mantel-Haenszel p-value for trend = <0.0001

*T test or non parametric two-sample Wilcoxon test for continuous variables, as appropriate; Chi-Square test or Fisher’s Exact Test for categorical variables, as appropriate

2One-unit increase OR

3Not entered in the multivariate model because it is a linear combination of other variables.

Note: significant ORs and p-values are in bold.
