Interpretation of the hazard odd ratios for the significant predictors in the full models in Table 3 is warranted as these effects are robust even when controlling for the range of other predictor variables. For initial remission, individuals with a 1-year higher education had a rate of initial AUD remission 16% higher than those with less education (OR=1.16); those with a 1-day higher T10 drinking frequency had a rate of initial remission 6% lower (OR=0.94) than those with the lower drinking frequency; and probands with T10 alcohol dependence had a rate of initial remission 66% lower (OR=.34) compared to those with alcohol abuse at T10. For sustained remission, probands with a 1-year higher age at T10 had AUD sustained remission at a 20% higher rate than those with younger ages (OR=1.20); those with a 1-day higher T10 drinking frequency had a sustained remission rate 8% lower (OR=0.92) than those with the lower drinking frequency; and rates of sustained remission were ~10 times greater among probands who had received formal AUD treatment by T10 (OR=10.8); the hazard odds ratio for the
