- Notes:
- The first hospital visit concerning an STI diagnosis before bereavement and the first hospital visit concerning an STI diagnosis after bereavement were both counted in all analyses
- CI confidence interval, GHS genital herpes simplex, HBV hepatitis B virus, HIV human immunodeficiency virus, IR incidence rate, IRR incidence rate ratio, N number; PYs, person-years
- IRR was adjusted for attained age (10–12, 13–15, 16–18, 19–21, 22–25, 26–29, 30–34, 35–39, and 40–44), calendar years (5-year group), and parental education levels (low/missing, medium, and high) as a proxy for socioeconomic status
- a Any hospital contact for condyloma was further complemented by prescription claim
- b Negative binomial regression was used instead due to over-dispersed Poisson regression
