Data (except where stated) are estimate (95% confidence interval); P value. Models are adjusted for age at diagnosis and sex.

Uric acid was standardized by sex but the adjusted associations are still adjusted with a sex term in the model because the interaction between sex and withdrawal has residual confounding with the standardized uric acid.
