  1. All studies in the tables used the random-effect model (p < 0.1)
  2. CI confidence interval, Q-value the value of the test for subgroup differences
  3. athe incidence per person-year was calculated by multiplying the 2-week prevalence rate by 26, as there are 2607(365/14) 2-week periods in a year
