  • EIMS: Data on coffee consumption habits at index were missing for 57 cases and 166 controls. Unconditional logistic regression has been used.

  • KPNC: Data on coffee consumption habits at index were missing for 4 cases and 6 controls. Conditional logistic regression has been used.

  • *Number of exposed cases and controls.

  • †Adjusted for age, gender, residential area and ancestry.
