Log OR (β): logistic regression β coefficients (log odds ratio for one unit increase in the explanatory variable); SE (β): standard error for the β coefficient; OR: odds ratio for one unit increase in the explanatory variable (exponential of β); 95% CI: 95% confidence interval for the odds ratio; Abbreviations: AILD: autoimmune liver disease; GLB: globulin; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; GGT: γ-glutamyltransferase; LN: abdominal lymph node enlargement (B-mode ultrasound); CEAID: current extrahepatic autoimmune diseases; FA: familial autoimmunity.
