Table 4.

Factors associated with annual use (yes/no; OR [95% CI]) of opioids and annual volume (% difference [P value] if use > 0) of opioids in years with ≥1 filled prescription for PwH compared with that for controls in Sweden during 2007-2017. Predictions for PwH and controls, respectively, compared with a reference person as described in the table footnote. Longitudinal regression analyses in the model with interaction terms between the covariate PwH and all other covariates.

Note: The reference person for the comparison of regression estimates is a control aged <30 years who does not use antidepressant or antianxiety prescription drugs and has no joint complications (and no inhibitors by definition).

OR, odds ratio; NA, not available/applicable; PwH, people with hemophilia.
