The table shows hazard ratios and related 95% confidence intervals; HR > 1 indicates a shorter and HR < 1 a longer time to onset of mental health-related LTSA
* Significant at 5% and ** significant at 1% level
a Model 1 adjusted for sociodemographic variables: age, sex, marital status, and care for children at home
