Multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for subjects with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) versus those of healthy controls

  Odds ratio (95% CI) P
CD (n = 173)
C allele carrier in LCT
1.44 (0.93-2.24)
0.1
MAP (PCR positive vs PCR negative)
0.33 (0.21-0.53)
<0.0001
NOD-2 mutant
2.05 (1.18-3.58)
0.011
UC (n = 105)
C allele carrier in LCT
2.16 (1.25-3.71)
0.005
MAP (PCR positive vs PCR negative)
0.29 (0.16-0.50)
<0.0001
NOD-2 mutant
0.67 (0.30-1.51)
0.338
IBD (n = 278)
C allele carrier in LCT
1.65 (1.11-2.45)
0.013
MAP (PCR positive vs PCR negative)
0.31 (0.21-0.47)
<0.0001
NOD-2 mutant 1.74 (1.00-3.01) 0.046

In this analysis C allele carrier and MAP presence were treated as categorical values. Significance was considered when P < 0.05.
