OR: Odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.

White people were the reference group in logistic regression models.

Model 1: sex and age group were adjusted. Model 2: sex, age group, and Elixhauser comorbidity were adjusted. Model 3: sex, age group, Elixhauser comorbidity, and zip code level variables (median personal income, proportion of black residents, proportion of Hispanic residents, proportion with less than high school diploma, and Gini coefficient) were adjusted.
