Table 4 Crude and adjusted differences in the Tegner scores of the MLKI group between baseline and 1-year follow-up and the impact of risk factors (gender, age, meniscus and cartilage injury)

	Crude (mean[95%CI]) n = 5,088	Adjusted (mean[95%CI]) n = 5,080	p-values
*Mean difference (Isolated ACL [controls])*	1.83 (1.77;1.89)	1.89 (1.76;2.02)	< 0.001
Mean difference (MLKI)	1.52 (1.17;1.88)	1.76 (1.43;2.08)	< 0.001
Mean difference (MLKI vs Isolated ACL)	0.31 (-0.02;0.63)	0.13(-0.19;0.46)	0.42
Gender (female)		-0.16 (-0.29;-0.04)	0.01
Age (year)		-0.04 (-0.04;-0,03)	< 0.001
Meniscus injury (yes)		-0.02 (-0.15;0.11)	0.79
Cartilage injury (yes)		-0.09 (-0.22;0.04)	0.18

Regression model adjusted for gender, age, meniscus and cartilage injury. Data presented as mean (95%CI). p-values < 0.05 indicates if the variable influence on the adjusted mean difference
