Figure 2. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for mention of each cause together with multiple sclerosis (MS), relative to mention of each cause without MS, British Columbia, Canada (1986–2013), after adjustment for age, sex, and calendar year of death.

The dotted line represents an OR of 1.0. An OR to the right of the dotted line represents an increased association of the cause of death with mention of MS on the death certificate. An OR to the left of the dotted line represents a reduced association of the cause of death with mention of MS.
