Table 2

Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses for persistent organ failure.


Variables	Univariable		Multivariable
Variables	OR (95% CI)		OR (95% CI)

NLR (>6.56)	3.122 (1.889-5.160)	<0.001	2.58 (1.439-4.626)	0.001
Calcium (<2.0 mmol/L)	23.903 (10.872-52.554)	<0.001	15.305 (5.550-42.208)	<0.001
Urea (>7.14 mmol/L)	9.562 (3.945-23.177)	<0.001	3.988 (1.260-12.620)	0.019
Triglyceride (>22.6 mmol/L)	1.769 (1.106-2.829)	0.017	2.561 (1.399-4.687)	0.002
Prior acute pancreatitis	0.615 (0.382-0.989)	0.045
Time from pain onset to admission (>24 h)	2.245 (1.318-3.823)	0.003
White blood cells	2.887 (1.753-4.755)	<0.001
Hematocrit (>44%)	1.745 (1.083-2.813)	0.022
Albumin (<32 g/L)	8.911 (2.964-26.795)	<0.001
CRP (>150 mg/L)	4.995 (2.924-8.534)	<0.001
Glucose (>8.33 mmol/L)	2.346 (1.378-3.997)	0.002

As white blood cells were not independent of NLR, they were excluded from the multivariate analysis. CI: confidence interval; CRP: C reactive protein; NLR: neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; OR: odds ratio.
