Multivariable analysis: Increased international normalized ratio level in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with diabetes mellitus

Variable	AOR	95%CI	P value
Model 1
INR	3.650	1.372-9.714	0.010
SBP	1.019	1.002-1.036	0.029
Hemoglobin	0.987	0.975-0.999	0.038
Model 2
INR	4.487	1.713-11.754	0.002
Age	1.032	1.005-1.059	0.020

Model 1: Based on the results of univariate analysis, unconditional multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. Six variables were included, including age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hemoglobin, platelet count and international normalized ratio (INR). Statistical differences were shown for 3 variables (shown in Table), and other four variables were omitted because no significant differences were found; Model 2: According to the published literatures and our current knowledge, more potential confounding factors were controlled, including age, sex, HBV infection, hepatitis C virus infection, alcohol drinking, liver cirrhosis, Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification and INR. AOR: Adjusted odds ratio.
