Where NS Not significant
Chi-square test was used in this table
#This p value is calculated between having no, one, two or three positive clusters
aThese were not included in the regression as they do not generate extra results and they overlap with most variables
When using Bonferroni correction, P = (0.05\14) ≈ 0.004 or less to be statistically significant
