| Predictor Variables | Categories | Bayesian OR(95%CI) | Frequentist OR(SE) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serum albumin | Normal | 1 | ||
| Reduced | 132.57 (9.13–567.10) | 37.12 (33.69) | 0.001 | |
| Remission status at enrollment | Yes | 1 | ||
| No | 7.49 (0.48–35.99) | 3.56 (3.49) | 0.195 | |
| Edema at enrollment | Yes | 1 | ||
| No | 4.18 (0.14–24.54) | 1.37 (1.68) | 0.795 |
The texts in bold were the statistical analysis results that were found to be significant; therefore the predictor variable is associated with hypothyroidism
