Table 5. Logistic regression: Predictive factors for severe bacterial infection in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Factor | Coefficient | P value | OR | 95% CI |
Female gender | 0.355 | 0.228 | 1.43 | 0.80–2.54 |
Child-Pugh stage | −0.096 | 0.669 | 0.91 | 0.58–1.41 |
Ascites | 0.481 | 0.004 | 1.62 | 1.16–2.25 |
LBP level (>26, 236 ng/ml) | −0.094 | 0.85 | 0.92 | 0.44–1.89 |
Co-morbidities | 0.796 | 0.005 | 2.22 | 1.27–3.86 |
ASCA IgA and/or IgG | 0.491 | 0.018 | 1.63 | 1.09–2.45 |
The coefficient is equivalent to the natural log of the OR; p value: level of significance;
OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval.
