Table 3.

Simple and multiple binary logistic regression analyses assessing which demographics, clinical, and behavioural features distinguished underestimators from non-underestimators; 95% bias corrected and accelerated confidence intervals [95% CI] (1000 bootstrap samples) for the logistic regression coefficients were reported in parentheses
