Note. Information of each clinical parameter was available for all the patients unless otherwise stated. Association of the area percentage of OM in a slide to continuous clinical parameters calculated by Spearman's rank correlation test.

OM, osteoid metaplasia; BMI, body mass index; rho, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.
