Note: CI = confidence interval.

*All logistic regressions were conducted with the use of a complete-case methods approach, so the results presented here are among all cases with complete data.

†High sampling variability/insufficient sample size; data suppressed.

‡Moderate sampling variability; interpret with caution.
