Candidate trismus predictors from univariate logistic regression analyses stratified between cases and controls, the related discriminative ability (AUC) and p-values, as well as the logistic regression coefficients for the intercept (B0), and candidate predictor (B1).

Note: Dmean and textures are given as the median (range), and AUC and p-values as the mean±SD across all Bootstrap samples, while B0 and B1 are the regression coefficients without Bootstrapping applied. Not considered a final candidate predictor due to being highly correlated with *Dmean of the masseter, and the medial pterygoid (|Rs|=0.78, 0.79), and ** the Haralick Correlation GLCM of the masseter (|Rs|=0.91).
