^aMultivariable odds ratios were adjusted for all covariates presented in the table.

^bFor continuous covariates, OR and AOR coefficients can be interpreted as the change in odds per each 1-unit increase in the continuous measure.

^*Bolded effect sizes and corresponding p-values represent statistically significant (p < 0.05) measures of association.
