Analysis of corticosteroid exposure revealed that cumulative dose showed a trend towards increased risk at high exposure (adjusted OR (aOR) = 1.14, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.31), while average daily dose demonstrated a dose–response effect: 1–5 mg/day (aOR=1.31, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.52) and ≥5 mg/day (OR=2.48, 95% CI 2.16 to 2.86).
