In multivariate logistic regression analysis, MEOHP was significantly higher in the second [OR = 1.79 (95% CI: 1.15–2.76)] and fourth [OR = 1.70 (95% CI: 1.09–2.64)] quartiles compared with the first quartile and the p -test for linear trend was marginally significant ( p -test for linear trend = 0.088).
For MECPP, we obtained marginally statistically significant results when studied in quartiles [OR = 1.53 (95% CI: 0.98–2.32)] comparing the fourth with the first quartile ( p -test for linear trend = 0.112).
