  • Number and percentage (%) by column, the remaining unreported % is the missing value.

  • †Backward LR was applied (all variables were included in the multiple logistic regression). Multicollinearity was checked and not found. Classification table (overall correctly classified percentage=96.9%) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (62.1%) were applied to check the model fitness.
