Logistic regression analysis for FPIES patients with food aversion and poor body weight gain

Variables	Univariate analysis		Multivariate analysis*
	OR (95% CI)	P-value	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Food aversion
Multiple triggers (≥ 3)	3.46 (1.59 – 7.51)	.002	3.07 (1.38 – 6.82)	.006
FPIES to wheat	7.26 (1.74 – 30.40)	.007	2.60 (0.50 – 13.56)	.26
Family history of food allergy	1.91 (0.94 – 3.90)	.08	1.79 (0.86 – 3.73)	.12
Poor body weight gain
Multiple triggers (≥ 3)	3.61 (1.32 – 9.79)	.01	2.05 (0.63 – 6.61)	.23
FPIES to cow’s milk	3.19 (1.19 – 8.59)	.02	3.41 (1.21 – 9.63)	.02
FPIES to banana	7.10 (2.05 – 24.62)	.002	7.63 (2.10 – 27.80)	.002
Chronic FPIES	4.07 (1.37 – 12.11)	.01	1.96 (0.44 – 8.83)	.38

OR: odds ratio, 95% CI: 95% confidence interval, FPIES: food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome

^*Variables in the multivariate analysis for food aversion: gender, birth mode, prematurity, perinatal antibiotics exposure, breadfeeding, multiple trigger, FPIES to wheat, family history of food allergy.

Variables in the multivariate analysis for poor body weight gain: gender, birth mode, prematurity, perinatal antibiotics exposure, breadfeeding, multiple trigger, FPIES to cow’s milk/banana, chronic FPIES.
