^aPearson’s correlation coefficients between the independent variables and the outcome are presented for continuous independent variables, whereas mean (standard deviation) of the outcome variable are presented for categorical independent variables
^bOnly those examined independent variables with p values <0.05 in bivariate analyses were selected for multivariable regression analysis
NE: not being entered into multivariable regression
B: regression coefficient
SE: standard error of the regression coefficient
ref: reference group of the independent categorical variables
R²: proportion of variance explained by the multivariable regression model
