Table S3. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis of relationship of ESS with SPS, GVS, GAS, HADS-A, HADS-D, PAS and NAS.

Steps β (95%CI) Standard β P value
Step 1
   Constant −0.15 (−10.56 to 10.26) 0.97
   Age −0.06 (−0.18 to 0.06) −0.15 0.35
   Gender 0.73 (−3.13 to 4.59) 0.05 0.70
   BMI 0.37 (0.02 to 0.72) 0.35 0.03
Step 2
   Constant −2.16 (−10.63 to 6.34) 0.61
   Age 0.02 (−0.08 to 0.13) 0.07 0.61
   Gender −2.03 (−5.37 to 1.30) −0.15 0.22
   BMI 0.11 (−0.18 to 0.42) 0.11 0.44
   SPS 2.85 (1.69 to 4.01) 0.65 <0.001
Step 3
   Constant −6.08 (−14.16 to 2.00) 0.13
   Age 0.01 (−0.08 to 0.11) 0.04 0.71
   Gender −2.22 (−5.25 to 0.80) −0.16 0.14
   BMI 0.22 (−0.06 to 0.50) 0.21 0.11
   SPS 2.16 (1.03 to 3.29) 0.49 <0.001
   HADS-A 0.50 (0.19 to 0.81) 0.37 0.002

Step 1 model adjusted R2=−0.039 (P=0.188), step 2 model adjusted R2=0.366, (P<0.001) and step 3 model adjusted R2=0.479 (P≤0.001). The threshold for stopping the stepwise regression was F=0.10.
