  1. Results of separate multivariable logistic regression models performed for female and male doctors: terms with ‘NA’ in cells were not included in the final model for that sex
  2. aThe reference category of each model term and interaction is given in square brackets
  3. bThe final model for female doctors was [~Cohort+JobGrade+Spouse+Specialty*Children+JobGrade*Children]
  4. cThe final model for male doctors was [~Cohort+JobGrade+Spouse+Specialty+GradStatus]
