Adjusted for each of the other covariates listed in Table 3.

± 95% CI represents lower and upper 95 percent confidence interval limits for relative risks.

NA, not applicable because trend test requires three or more ordinal exposure levels.

¥Asian/Others includes patients of Asian descent including Filipino, other includes American Indian, Native Alaskan, Mixed or unknown race/ethnicity.
