  1. The variables that had a p- value <0.2 in the bivariate analysis entered in the initial multivariate-model (see Table 2). We performed a separate multivariate model for each group of outcome. Only variables that remained in the final model are shown. Bold font indicates statistically significant results (p-value < 0.05)
