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

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.
