*
average lifelong events per year was computed for those that had condition for >1yr
a
Value is expressed as OR (95% CI) for constant severe pain
b
Value is expressed as OR (95% CI) for any pain
c
Value is expressed as median difference (95% CI) for Diabetes minus No Diabetes
d
Value is expressed as OR (95% CI)
