Multivariate analysis for predictors affecting pain response after 4 wk by endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis

Independent variables	OR	95%CI	P value
Invisible ganglia	5.85	2.66-22.73	0.037
Invasion of celiac plexus	15.11	4.01-51.22	0.001
Distant metastasis	8.59	2.16–27.02	0.019

Summarizes the results of the multivariate analyses of the predictive factors associated with pain relief by EUS-CPN. The only independent predictive factors that achieved statistical significance in the univariate analysis were included. CI: Confidence interval; EUS-CPN: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis; OR: Odds ratio.
