Odds ratios (OR), conditioned on matching factors (age, sex, county) and adjusted for socioeconomic factors (level of education, country of birth, marital status) and health-care utilizations prior the 2 years preceding CRC diagnosis (number of specialist visits and hospitalizations). Antibiotics use during the 2 years preceding CRC diagnosis was excluded to account for possible reverse causation. CI = confidence interval.
