Multivariate logistic regression analysis including age and haplotypes Ht1 to Ht4, to determine the risk of hepatitis B carriers developing hepatocellular carcinoma
| OR1 (95% CI) | OR2 (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 1.83 (1.47–2.29) | 1.06 (1.04–1.09) |
| Ht1 (*1) | 1.00 (reference) | 1.00 (reference) |
| Ht2 (*3) | 1.45 (1.03–2.03) | 1.44 (1.03–2.02) |
| Ht3 (*2) | 1.37 (0.92–2.03) | 1.34 (0.90–1.99) |
| Ht4 (*2) | 4.95 (1.75–13.98) | 4.56 (1.62–12.87) |
| Other haplotype | 0.38 (0.10–1.41) | 0.36 (0.10–1.38) |
OR1, adjusted age as an ordinal variable beginning with age group 20–29 years and ending with age group 70–79 years; OR2, adjusted age as a numeric variable.
