Multivariate Analysis of Blood GDF-15 Concentration Using a Multivariate Logistic Regression Test

	No.	OR	95% CI	p-value
Chronic liver disease*	145	1.002	1.001–1.002	0.000
Chronic hepatitis	54	1.001	1.000–1.002	0.011
Compensated LC	44	1.001	1.000–1.002	0.009
Decompensated LC	47	1.002	1.001–1.003	0.002

Adjusted for significant variables, including age, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, Child-Pugh score, and Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELS) score.

GDF-15, growth differentiating factor 15; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; LC, liver cirrhosis.

^*Included chronic hepatitis, compensated LC, and decompensated LC.
