a

All proportions are column % and were calculated using sample weights as described in Methods. Unweighted numbers of patients were shown to reflect actual sample size. Only patients diagnosed in 2005, 2010, or 2015 were included.

b

41 individuals had unknown marital status, and these subjects were not included in the model.

c

Odds ratios adjusted for all other variables included in the table unless otherwise noted.
