Notes:

*-

pooled confidence interval does not cross one and is interpreted as having a significant association with the outcome.

†-

Others include Asian, Pacific Islander, Multiracial, and Unspecified. Variables in italics are the additional variables for site-specific analysis. CI – confidence interval from pooled results of multiply imputed datasets (m=20), DM – Diabetes mellitus, HR – hazards ratio, HTN – hypertension.
