| R5-20 at exam 1‡ | 2.53 | (1.15 to 5.57) | ||
N with complete data=127.
*Models are adjusted for all factors shown.
†Modelled as a continuous variable in 10-point increments.
‡Modelled as a continuous variable in cm H2O/L/s.
AOR, adjusted odds ratio; BMI, body mass index; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.
