CI = Confidence interval; The different covariates in the adjusted multivariable logistic regression models included age, gender, prior aspirin use, smoking, and total cholesterol; all the adjusted models were statistically significant (P<0.001); The models also fit reasonably well (the P values for the Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics were all >.05).
