Logistic regression analysis of associations between symptom clusters with esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions
| Severity of symptom | Esophagitis | LGIN | HGIN and ESCC | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N (%) | OR(95%CI) | N (%) | OR(95%CI) | N (%) | OR(95%CI) | |
| Asymptomatic | 3367(86.7) | 1.0 | 979(69.3) | 1.0 | 297(89.5) | 1.0 |
| Mild symptoms | 378(9.7) | 1.87(1.66–2.10) | 415(29.4) | 1.25(1.11–1.41) | 15(4.5) | 0.98(0.58–1.66) |
| Overt symptoms | 138(3.6) | 1.04(0.86–1.25) | 19(1.3) | 0.82(0.51–1.31) | 20(6.0) | 1.58(1.00–2.50) |
Note: LGIN low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, HGIN high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, ESCC esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval.
