The data are presented as odds ratios (95% confidence interval). EMS means emergency medical service. Model 1 adjusts for age and sex; model 2 adjusts for demographic characteristics (age, sex, BMI, education, income, marital status, smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine intake, and exercise), and comorbidities (fatigue, depression, anxiety, and PTSD); model 3 adjusts for the demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and work-related characteristics (type of job, employment period, work schedule, frequency of emergency events and off-duty work). *p-value for trend < 0.05 in model 3
