Models 2 and 3 had IBD-DI-SR as a continuous variable which was significant in bivariate analyses but not in multivariate analyses in both models.

b

Reference category.

c

Treated as a continuous variable so no percentages are reported.

d

Significant in the bivariate model.

e

Remained significant in the multivariate model.
