Note: IPD, individual participant data; OR, odds ratio; SE, standard error; , alpha value, calculated as 2 the probability of the sufficiency statistic, a statistic derived from single-parameter tests of the null hypothesis that the coefficient equals zero versus a 2-sided alternative; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; alpha () and 95% CI calculated from exact conditional distributions; both independent variables (year and country) calculated separately with the other variable conditioned out of the calculation.
