The second column displays the OFDI parameters before and after balloon angioplasty. The OFDI parameters according to restenosis 6 months after balloon angioplasty are shown in the third and fourth columns. The odds ratio as a measurement of the relationship between restenosis 6 months after balloon angioplasty and each OFDI parameter, along with its 95% confidence interval and p value, are displayed in the fifth, sixth, and seventh columns. a Mean±standard deviation (n) for continuous variables; frequency count (%) for a categorical variable. b The p-values were calculated using a simple logistic regression. c Estimate computed by logistic regression is unstable because of complete separation. OFDI: optical frequency domain imaging; OR: odds ratio; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval; Lower: lower limit; Upper: upper limit; ISR: in-stent restenosis
