The model initially included independent baseline and follow-up variables (including time span between event and reporting of second follow-up form) that were found to be associated univariately at the (borderline) 0.05 level with the dependent variable.

*Variable was removed because it did not significantly affect the fit of the model.

P, p value of univariate association.
