Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; ROC, receiver operating characteristics; WBC, white blood cell;
*adjusted for all the variables listed in this table in a multivariate logistic regression model (see Methods for detail).
Incremental ROC represents area under the curve obtained by adding the previous row variable to the current row variable in a multivariate logistic regression model (see Methods for detail). For example, model 2 incremental ROC and p values are obtained by comparing a logic regression model that contains WBC and current smoker variables to that which contains only current smoker variable (i.e. model 1).
p value is obtained by comparing the incremental ROC value of the current row to the previous row ROC value.
