| ESS Slope 2 (ESS, > 11.29) | -0.0134 | 0.0031 | < 0.001 |
| (e) Linear spline with breakpoint at 11 | |||
| ESS, 0–11 | -0.0026 | 0.0016 | 0.11 |
| ESS, 12–24 | -0.0131 | 0.0022 | < 0.001 |
Note: P-values for models a-c were calculated using Wald chi-square tests. P-values for models d-e were calculated using t-tests. Due to no adjustments for multiplicity, P-values presented are nominal
