 Multivariate analysis of factors affecting the increase in the fraction of binuclear hepatocytes

	Total	Odds ratio (95% CI)	p Value
Age	⩽40 y v >40 y	1.5 (0.4–5.8)	0.5371
Sex	Males v females	0.7 (0.1–3.6)	0.6368
Infected virus	HBV v HCV	0.2 (0.05–0.9)	0.0294
Activity of inflammation	Low v high	2.4 (0.6–9.3)	0.2020
Degree of fibrosis	Low v high	1.0 (0.3–3.9)	0.9866

Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis.

Low activity of inflammation = A0, A1; high activity of inflammation = A3, according to the METAVIR scoring system.²¹

Low degree of fibrosis = F0–F2; high degree of fibrosis = F3, F4, according to the METAVIR scoring system.²¹

HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCV, hepatitis C virus; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
