UEC vanguard exposure categories and impact on DTOC.

Exposure to UEC type	High	Medium	Low	Not exposed
Exposure (%)	60+	4.5–60	1–4.5	0–1
Mean exposure (%)	85.44	19.34	2.23	0.16
Average impact (%) (reduction)	25.63	5.80	0.67	0.05
Avg. impact in DTOC days	−775.20	−363.71	−25.40	−1.27
95% CI	[−1281.33, −269.08]	[−601.17, −126.25]	[−41.99, −8.82]	[−2.11, −0.44]
Avg. impact in DTOC to 1 k pop days	−2.03	−0.52	−0.05	−0.004
95% CI	[−3.36, −0.71]	[−0.86, −0.18]	[−0.08, −0.02]	[−0.006, −0.001]

Note. The average impact % was calculated by multiplying the mean exposure % by coefficient from ln DTOC to 1 k pop regression −0.003. Average impact in DTOC days for each category was calculated by multiplying the average impact % by the mean DTOC days and dividing by 100. The average impact in DTOC days to 1 k pop for each category was calculated by multiplying the average impact % by the mean DTOC days to 1 k pop and dividing by 100.
