95% Confidence intervals are calculated using the robust sandwich estimate of Lin and Wei [54] for the covariance and standard error. P-values are Wald p-values from the conditional logistic model using the robust sandwich estimate. Covariates that reached the statistical significance level p≤0.1 are included in this table.

Subset of matched cases and controls where data were available in the electronic medical records, preserving the case-control pair status; N=344 sets.

Subset of cases and controls where data were available in the electronic medical records, not preserving the case-control pairing; N=512 individuals.
