In multivariable analysis, the following variables were excluded because their overall p values were no longer below the pre-specified threshold: surgery in non-Western country (p = 0.545) and lifetime sexual partners (p = 0.495).

aOR, adjusted odds ratio; HBV, hepatitis B virus; OR, odds ratio.

a

Overall p value of a log-likelihood ratio test comparing full model to a model with individual covariable excluded.

b

Surinamese of other/unknown ethnicity were not included in the analyses because of a low number of participants.
