Table 2. Association between Fusobacterium abundance and colorectal adenomas.

Categories* Case (n = 48) Control (n = 67) OR (95% CI)**
Tertile 1 8 23 Reference
Tertile 2 12 22 1.57 (0.54–4.57)
Tertile 3 28 22 3.66 (1.37–9.74)

The abundance of Fusobacterium among control subjects were used to generate tertile cut-off. The lowest tertile of Fusobacterium abundance was considered as the reference.

**

Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval.

Compared to subjects with a low copy number, subjects with high abundance of Fusobacterium are more likely to be adenoma cases than controls.
