Crude model: not adjusted for other covariants. Minimally adjusted model: adjusted for sex and age. Fully adjusted model: adjusted for age, sex, weight, height, smoking status, alcohol consumption, HP (Helicobacter pylori) infection, diabetes history, hyperuricemia, cardiovascular diseases, bleeding in skin, bleeding in mucosa, bleeding in organ, treatment protocol (high-dose dexamethasone, oral prednisone). OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; Ref – reference; PLR – platelet to lymphocyte ratio.
