  1. Model 1: Logistic regression model with adjustment for the matching factors age at diagnosis, calendar year of diagnosis, and time since diagnosis.
  2. Model 2: Additional adjustment for comorbidity (in groups of disorders associated with increased or decreased use of ASA) and highest obtained educational level (≤9 years, 10–12 years, >12 year).
