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) |
P trend |
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.
