Model 1 considers in the vaccinated group all physicians who received BCG vaccination regardless year of vaccination.

Model 2 considers as vaccinated only those physicians who received BCG vaccination after 2000.

Model 3 considers as vaccinated only those physicians who received BCG vaccination after 2005.

OR with the corresponding 95% C.I. was estimated using logistic regression models and was adjusted for all the predictors reported in the table.
