Table 3.
A Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) model to investigate the differences in NLR between FEP patients and healthy control with BDI-II scores, BAI scores, occupation, and years of education adjusted.
| Model | Constant | β | SE-β | 95% CI of β | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NLR | 1.477 | ||||
| Group: FEP case group (reference: control group) | 1.886 | 0.413 | 1.076 to 2.695 | * < 0.001 | |
| Occupation | − 0.289 | 0.399 | − 1.071 to 0.494 | 0.47 | |
| Years of Education | 0.022 | 0.046 | − 0.068 to 0.111 | 0.634 | |
| BDI-II | − 0.035 | 0.021 | − 0.076 to 0.007 | 0.103 | |
| BAI | 0.025 | 0.014 | − 0.002 to 0.052 | 0.066 |
Outcome: NLR.
β, beta-coefficient; CI, confidence interval; SE, standard error; BDI-II, Beck Depression Inventory-II; BAI, Beck Anxiety Inventory.
