Hazard ratios (CI) are for 1 unit increase in factor. Any factor not listed above was not significant at p≤0.05 in any model. Grey spaces indicate factors consistently associated with the outcome after all adjustments. Blank spaces indicate that the factor was not significant at p≤0.05 in that model.
