Data are adjusted HR with 95% CI. Each column represents a separate Cox PH model: model 1 was only adjusted for indicator of country with Sweden as baseline, model 2 was additionally adjusted for birth characteristics (birth weight, gestational age and presence of congenital anomalies), and model 3 was further adjusted for socioeconomic factors (socioeconomic status and maternal age).
PH, proportional hazards; RTI, respiratory tract infection.
