Table 3. Risk for early shunt occlusion.
| Odds ratio | Confidence intervals 95% (lower–upper) |
P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thrombophilic risk factor | 6.886 | 1.63–28.99 | <0.01 |
| Age | 1.093 | 1.03–1.16 | <0.01 |
| Diabetes mellitus | 8.885 | 0.51–156.07 | 0.14 |
| Cerebral stroke | 0.325 | 0.08–1.36 | 0.12 |
| Coronary heart disease | 1.728 | 0.41–7.21 | 0.45 |
| Malignancy | 1.450 | 0.27–7.77 | 0.66 |
| Sex | 1.179 | 0.36–3.88 | 0.79 |
Logistic regression analysis of the risk for shunt occlusion and various other factors demonstrated a significant association with the presence of thrombophilic risk factors and age.
No significant association was found with sex, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, or malignancy.
