Multiple logistic regression analysis for predicting risk factors associated with hypertension in 65 children with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease
| Simple logistic regression | Multiple logistic regression | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | p‐value | OR (95% CI) | p‐value | |
| BMI z‐score | 3.971 (1.842–8.563) | <.001 | 4.912 (1.463–16.497) | .010 |
| FFMI | 1.444 (1.141–1.828) | .002 | 0.926 (0.664–1.290) | .649 |
| GGT | 1.021 (1.004–1.038) | .016 | 1.007 (0.980–1.035) | .632 |
| Dyslipidemia | 5.357 (1.100–26.089) | .038 | 2.180 (0.212–22.441) | .512 |
| QUICKI | 0.743 (0.564–0.981) | .036 | 0.917 (0.588–1.430) | .702 |
| MRI pancreas FF (%) | 1.205 (1.039–1.398) | .014 | 1.279 (1.007–1.624) | .044 |
Note: Odds ratio of QUICK were odds ratio for hypertension by every 0.01 increment of QUICKI.
Abbreviations: BMI‐z, body mass index standard deviation score; CI, confidence interval; FF, fat fraction; FFMI, fat free mass index = FFM(Kg)/(height[m])2; GGT, γ‐glutamyl transferase; HOMA‐IR, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance = fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl) × fasting insulin (μU/ml)/405; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; OR, odds ratio; QUICKI, quantitative insulin‐sensitivity check index = 1/log (HOMA‐IR × 405).
