Data are presented as aOR [95% CI]. All the variables in the table were included in the multivariable logistic regression model; sex–prefer not to say (n=1) was not included in the regression model as it perfectly predicted the outcome. aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; CRC, colorectal cancer; GI, gastrointestinal.
