  1. P-values in univariate analysis were calculated by chi-squared, or Fisher’s test as appropriate, comparing percentages in the study population vs percentages in all-cause death cases, MR denotes mortality rates per 100.000 persons-week, CIs denotes confidence intervals for mortality rates and were calculated assuming a Poisson distribution for uncommon events
