From: Exogenous female sex steroid hormones and new-onset asthma in women: a matched case–control study
Ever use of hormonal contraceptives (compared to never use) and new-onset asthma in women. a The results were from Frequentist conditional logistic regression. b Posterior probability distribution estimated from Bayesian conditional logistic regression, based on the original prior probability distribution \(\mathrm{log}OR\sim N(-0.26,{0.20}^{2})\) for use of hormonal contraceptives; the vertical bold line indicates the median of the posterior distribution, and the shaded area under the curve indicates the 95% central posterior interval. All analyses were conducted based on the multiply imputed datasets (\(m=\) 100), adjusted for age, place of residence, level of education, age at menarche, gynecological conditions and tobacco smoking. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; PI, posterior interval. Superscript lowercase letter a (a) indicates the following: age at baseline in 2008
