  1. The p-values of multivariable analysis were based on Likelihood ratio test
  2. Parity was not included in the final model because of its strong correlation with Age, Odds ratio was adjusted for all other variables in the table, The Hosmer-Lemshow goodness-of-fit test was checked
  3. COR Crude Odds Ratio, AOR Adusted Odds Ratio
  4. *significant at p-value less than 0.05 on bivariate logistic regression
