Multivariable logistic analysis for plasma mesothelin and various diagnostic factors in patients with colorectal cancer.

Variables	OR (95%CI)	Pc
Age, > 60 y vs. ≤ 60 ya	0.99 (0.58 to 1.70)	0.966
Sex, female vs. male	0.88 (0.51 to 1.52)	0.640
Smoking status, ever vs. never	1.17 (0.57 to 2.42)	0.673
Drinking status, ever vs. never	1.44 (0.68 to 3.04)	0.347
FH, yes vs. no	3.29 (1.54 to 7.04)	0.002
Plasma mesothelin (ng/ml), > 36.50 vs. ≤ 36.50b	4.76 (2.61 to 8.65)	< 0.001

^aThe median age was 60 years.

^bThe cutoff values of plasma mesothelin was derived by Youden index.

^cAdjusted by age, sex, family history of cancers, smoking and drinking status in logistic regression analysis.

FH, family history of cancers
