  1. Note: Coeff: coefficient, aCoeff: adjusted Coefficient, CI: Confidence Interval (95%), p: p-value. The results of the univariate analyses were obtained through Mann-Whitney U-tests (the CMV knowledge score does not have a normal distribution, Supplementary Fig. 1). Coefficients were obtained using linear regressions. Only variables with a p-value < 0.10 in the univariate analyses were selected for the multivariate analyses (generalized linear models)
