In multivariable analyses, strongest predictors increased immunosuppression (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.63, p<0.001), living larger urban area (aOR 1.48, p=0.005), age 65 1.35, p=0.049), college education 1.58, p=0.002), functional limitation 2.22, p<0.001). regular healthcare more likely than those without one (p=0.02).
