Table 3.

Survival models with parametric Weibull regression was completed stepwise for each incident musculoskeletal outcome to examine the effects of incremental adjustment on the exposure variable (SCI).

Model 1: Unadjusted

Model 2: Model 1 + Demographic variables (age, sex, race, geographic region).

Model 3: Model 1 + Model 2 + Modified Elixhauser Comorbidity Index

Model 4: Model 1 + Model 2 + Model 3 + Education + Income

*

As with incidence estimates (Table 2), all survival models used cases (SCI) and control cohorts consistent with Table 2, which required a one-year clean period with no evidence of the condition being measured
