near-significantP = .064so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

However, it became nonsignificant in Model 2 (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 0.73–3.57, P = .230) and remained near-significant in Model 3 (OR = 2.12, 95% CI: 0.96–4.68, P = .064), suggesting a potential positive association despite not reaching the conventional threshold for statistical significance.
