CRP, WBC, Cr, and skin flare in the cervical and precordial regions were extracted as independent factors () and evaluated as predictors of OCNF. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios were high for CRP (34.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.67–205.52) and Cr (34.30,95% CI 2.83–416.17), indicating that these variables were the most important predictive factors. β: regression coefficient; SE: standard error. |
