  1. Bold represents a p-value of < 0.05
  2. OR odds ratio, CI confidence intervals
  3. *The fully adjusted model is adjusted for all covariates in the Table and the mutually adjusted model is adjusted only for occupational risk group and profession. Discordant results between these models could indicate the causal influence of covariates on occupational risk and type of profession
