While the compliance score was not an independent predictor in the overall cohort, binary compliance showed a trend towards significance ( P = 0.098), remaining statistically subordinate to secular trends.

This finding was supported by the Bayesian hierarchical model, which showed a marginally significant result, with a credible interval that narrowly included zero, suggesting a potential small protective effect that did not reach full statistical certainty (estimate: −0.05, 95% CI: [-0.12, 0.01]).
