a

Model derivation C statistic = 0.730; model validation C statistic = 0.713.

b

Odds ratios greater than 1.00 indicate increased probability of minimal risk for every 5-unit increase or decrease in continuous variables and when comparing category shift in categorical variables.

c

Compared with ever smoking.
